I'm on Effexor. I started at 37.5, after one week went to 75, and then after another week I went to 150, and I'm on my second day of the 150 now. Sometimes I feel a lot better, but sometimes there's no affect at all, or even sometimes I'm worse. Anxiety is especially worse. I know that it can take up to 3 months to see effects from medication, but I don't think I can stand it. I was on celexa first and I had a lot of terrible physical side effects, so I know Effexor is a lot better in this respect, but it just feels like it'll never make me better, and I don't want to take it.

I know that I can't just stop, but I am in the process of moving, and I don't have a doctor.. aside from the psychologist in my old place who will call in my prescription until I get a new doctor. I don't feel comfortable talking to him, really because I don't like him (but he's the only one available at that place). So I don't know what to do. I guess keep taking them until I see a new doctor, but the anxiety especially is unbearable.

You could see a pcp and talk about getting something to help for the anxiety. You don't need a pdoc to prescribe psych meds. But I suppose it would be best to ask your pdoc first.
