My regular doctor gives me xanax for anxiety. It's a small dose.. .5 3 x a day... but I end up taking 2 at night so I can try to sleep. I'm up and down all night so that makes the mornings very vile.

The effexor was 37.5 to start. I took it for ONE day. T tried to talk me into continuing it, but after I read about the weight gain I freaked. That's what I can't go back to. I'm starting to look like a human.. I don't stand out... I can't put another pound on. I'm 25 lbs from my initial goal and if by some miracle I can get lower than that, I'm going for it. I don't want pills that cause weight gain to pull me down.

7:00 in the morning and I already feel like kicking something.
