> Thanks for responding Glen. I went back to my doc and told him about my concern and he asked me to try the slow release version of effexor, I did and it's been great! I guess the dosage level makes all the difference. I still can't sleep without a sedative but the anxiety is abating already and, strangely, the chronic back pain I've had for months has gone too, a good side effect I guess :)

Well I am hesitant to try because of how awful I felt when taking the other two. Also tried effexor and it was ok but made me too jittery (zoloft made me a nauseous zombie and paxil gave me such severe vertigo I couldn't stand up).

My Doctor just perscribed Dothep 25 to me, to help me sleep. I have an enlarged left ventricle in my heart, and I have to watch what I take (although I'm only 27), he said it was ok to use this drug. I've tried Zoloft before, that made me panic a little. Has anyone ever had any pulpitations on Dothep?>jona
