are you taking effexor xr? i hope you are, because i found that to be more helpful than the regular effexor. as far as supplements, i've read (frequently) that being stressed/anxious uses up more b vitamins, so supplementing with a b vitamin complex may be helpful. i can only speak from experience, and my experience has been that taking b complex has helped me with the anxiety. i also take the medication that my doctor prescribes, but i have found that the addition of the b complex has been helpful--sort of boosting the effects of the regular meds. does that make sense?
