I'm sorry to be a voice of gloom, but I started EffexorXR awhile ago, based on a strong recommendation of its helpfulness for anxiety, and it seems to be doing the opposite for me - makes me jittery, feel caffeinated (see thread further above), too stimulated, shaky. ALl this on just half the therapeutic dose - I had to cut back because the higher the dose, the worse I felt.
On a positive note, however, EffexorXR did lift my depression somewhat.
Good luck; I hope it works for you!
