I get pretty severe anxiety to go with my depression, and the Effexor XR fixed that for me first shot. It's supposed to be a stimulating AD, but even at the lowest doses, it calmed my anxiety entirely.
Lightheadedness and dizziness can also be signs of hypotension, so make sure your blood pressure is OK, and steer clear of drugs that list hypotension as a common side effect. When I was on Serzone, I thought I was going to die of some strange disease, because I couldn't walk across the room without staggering or falling down. Not therapeutic. Turns out it went away as soon as I got off the Serzone. Duh, if the doctor had listened to me, she might not have put me on that drug...
Good luck to you.
