I don't get this - I thought Effexor(XR) is supposed to HELP with GENERALIZED ANXIETY (which I have), and figured that the way it would help would be to CALM you down, calm the anxiety. However, it seems to be activating and generating anxiousness, panickyness at least for me, and my doc even said that the therapeutic dose might be too STIMULATING for me. I'm totally confused now. Can someone explain how Effexor works on Norepinephrine and helps anxiety?? Thanks.
