From everything read about anxiety, I think I come under the GAD classification. I worry about EVERYTHING. I took 100mg of Zoloft for about 2 months. During that time, the jaw clenching was so bad that I added 15mg of Buspar 3 times a day in hopes that it would ease the clenching. That combination made me so spaced that I had to constantly force my attention back on the road while driving. I quit that combination and was put on 40mg of Celexa for 4 weeks. The Celexa has less side effects for me but I'm back to constantly worrying again. I've read that the only SSRI like drug, approved for GAD, is Effexor. I'll see my GP next week and thought that I would ask to try Effexor XR. Even without meds, I really don't feel depressed, I just worry (Ahhh!...the sky is falling down) Any info about Effexor for GAD would be greatly appreciated. TIA, David
