I have been on Effexor since May and never did a thing for me. My doctor has suggested I come off it. I was originally on 250 then 150 now 75mg every other day. I started to feel awfull. I am at work but it\'s hard. I feel very tearful and don\'t really know what to do for the best. I am going back to see another doctor tomorrow to see what she thinks. They never worked for me at all. They never stopped the symtoms, so whats the point in taking them. My Anxiety started in May and just got worse and worse over my thinking I had Cancer and getting a complex over it. Anyway that\'s my story. Please keep in contact it really helps to know what others are feeling when you feel that noone else is going through it.
