In reply to Question about Effexor XR, posted by Juco on February 2, 2004, at 22:16:02
> I have been suffering symptoms of anxiety over the last year or so. I do not feel depressed at all. My main problem is anxiety. I have numbing of both arms and what feels like I constant rash that seems to get worse when I feel more anxious. Most importantly I feel dizzy and "out of it" on an everyday basis. My doctor prescribed Zoloft, but I did not react so great to it (made my heart race) so he changed it to the current Effexor XR.
> What my concern is, and I was hoping for others to share their opinions about, is I don't feel like I am depressed at all, does anybody recommend this medication for anxiety only? Pretty much the symptoms that I listed above?
> Thank you for sharingI'd try a 2nd SSRI before going to Efexor. Prozac would be worth a try as it's the easiest to giveup.
Cheers,
Panda.
