Larry, thanks for the feedback. Effexor does make me more anxious, but I'm only in week 3 of the medication. My overall question is: would I expect the anxiety to decrease after 4 - 6 weeks?
I can feel the Effexor right after I take it. I feels like I have taken too much Ritalin or caffeine. It is a more of a physical anxiety. I suppose this is because of the increased norepinephrine.
Do you have an atypical anxiolytics that you could recommend? My list of unsuccessful drugs: remeron, serzone, depakote, benzos, buspar, prozac, and celexa.
If there were some sort of drug that blocks the production of norepinephrine or somehow interferes with the adrenalin chemisty, I'd give it a try. Thanks.
