I'm in a similar boat. I have to take a little bit of Effexor to keep my comorbid panic disorder under control. It only takes a tiny pinch, but I have to take it. I've been off them and after about two months or so it starts getting worse and more clonazepam just makes me depressed (to keep a lid on the panic). The other serotonergics did make me very goofy acting though, especially Celexa and Luvox for some reason. They would cause the worst hyena-like laughing spells I've ever experienced. :)
