Hey, anyone try this? Remarkable conclusion I found in a med journal!
P.S.- I use Neurontin as my non-benzo alternative, but this looks promising, because N for me gets tolerated quickly, making it hard to determine proper dosing. Note this is NOT a trycicylic. I was about to ask for Nardil after hearing all the good news about it, until I read up more about how "dirty" MAOIs can be in terms of effecting memory, cognition, etc.
From--
http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v283n23/abs/joc90456.htmlConclusions This study is the first placebo-controlled demonstration of the long-term efficacy of any drug class in treating outpatients with DSM-IV–diagnosed GAD. Venlafaxine XR is an effective, rapidly acting, safe, once-daily agent for both the short- and long-term treatment of anxiety and may provide an important alternative to currently available anxiolytics.

Hi, yeah my family doctor prescribed Effexor XR for its reduction of GAD symptoms and depression. I don't think this is new news ?
