> It's parent drug Effexor is used widely for anxiety for some reason, yet i don't understand because it increases noephrinephine, and it increases wakefulness, and attention.

Effexor increases seroronin much more than norepinephrine, although it is conceivable that norepinephrine is important for some people.

It is a good point to recognize that Effexor is proven effective and indicated for anxiety disorders while Pristiq is not. However, Pristiq may be just as good, if not better, for anxiety disorders. Time will tell. Perhaps Justusphung's doctor and his doctor's colleagues have had success with Prisiq.

> You could add nuerontin or lyrica those are well known non addictive anxiety meds

That's a good suggestion. Lyrica in particular has been found to be effective for social anxiety disorder, particularly at higher dosages. I would even consider using it as an adjunct to other treatments.
