Effexor and anxiety attacks

I have been taking Effexor for about a month and a half now and I love it. Things were so awful before I started it. My doctor explained all this to me before I started taking it and said it was a hard drug to tolerate for some but for most it is extremely helpful. There are side effects to ALL MEDICATIONS even tylenol people. So seriously consider what you are about to put into your body. I was never one to take medications before thought I could talk myself out of the depression anxiety attacks , there comes a point where you cant. Good luck you all of you .

So far so good with me. I didn't know what I was dealing with everyday until I started taking this. Sometimes you are so busy you don't take the time to realize you have a problem. Sexual side affects are the only real problem. I sleep well and have vivid dreams. Also take Xanax 1/2 to 1 tablet for anxiety attacks, which aren't often now. Have gained some weight but small sacrifice for feeling good.
