I have tried Prozac, Paxil & CR, Luvox, Anafranil, Serzone, Buspar, Wellbutrin & SR & XR, Remeron, Zoloft, Lithium, Abilify, Seroquel, Neurontin, anti-anxiety meds, benzodiaz, sleep aids, natural remedies (5-HTP, DHA, GABA, SAMe, St Jonhs Wort, exercise).

Have been on Effexor and XR (name brand) for over 15+ yrs. Effexor XR has had the least (most tolerable) side effects and is the only med to show any improvement. The generic doesn't work at all, for me.
