Welcome to the site, I do hope you find it helpful. If you get a chance/time check out the social board too.
I've been on Effexor XR for a little over a year. I felt better almost immediately taking it, (thinking problems helped right away.) I've had doctors tell me I have anxiety and had been seeing a psychologist for two years before I tried the effexor. Other ADs hadn't helped me and most made me worse.
About four months after being on the effexor I noticed a real difference something was gone. After some thought I realized it was a constant feeling of nervousness. So that is what they meant by generalized anxiety!
I am a bit thick headed. Everyone can say there's a full moon out but if I can't see I'll argue till blue in the face that it's a new moon. So if it has helped me and your combo doesn't work you may want to give it a try.
A lifetime ago my psych says he would have diagnosed me with the post stress thing, had I got assistance at the time. Oh to be so young and naive again!
Welcoming Willow
