I am now on a high regiment of the drug..Something you might want to talk to him about is putting you on either geodon or abilify for the irrational thoughts.. Just a thought and wanted to eductae you on the affects of effexor.. Take Care!!!
My anxiety has gone CRAZY into panic since I started the effexor and I am only at 12.5 mg because this has happened with every other med I tried

I am just so sensitive to medication and nothing works. Is this normal?

She did mention abilify but I have heard horror stories about that.

what do i do when no meds even work?

I can't even take care of my kids now. I can't see a future. I live in confusion and don't know what I am doing. I feel so lost and don't know who I am.

I don't feel like doing anything except being alone and trying to cure this.
