> > Good point. Only one AD, Effexor-XR, lessened anxiety, and at this time I was able to 'decrease' benzo. Think this is what you mean Phillipa. Also, ups and downs of life also made a diff' in my need. (Long time since a real good up!)

For me depression always seemed to follow anxiety in my life, so yes.

>Are you still taking the EffexorXR?

No, I'm giving some thought to beginning it again though. Next appt w/ pdoc 2wks. He'll do but not like as he mentioned it was hard for me 'coming off of it'. I don't recall it as being any harder than 'geting off' any other ADs though, so I'd probably share this w/ him. My anxiety seems pretty tamed right now, so I'm observing myself at this time, and just considering it. Cymbalta aggravated my sensitive neuro system. (This was soooo paradoxical!) Should post about this. Now that's two things I'm thinking I should post about this morning. Better get a sticky note out right nooowwwww. Oops sorry ... babbled on. U didn't ask 4this. Gotta' get to that cup of coffee back there behind me!
