I've been on Effexor for about 4 months and I would say it has made me feel better. It takes about 3 weeks to show any effects and you can't suddenly stop taking it because the withdrawl is pretty bad. I'm actually tapering off Effexor now (to 150mg. day) because my doc has put me on Lamictal, a mood stabilizer. This seems to be working pretty well. (She diagnosed me BP2). Are you taking any kind of anti-anxiety meds like Klonopin or Xanax? Xanax can be pretty addicting and Klonopin too, but Klonopin stays in your system longer and you don't have to keep increasing it as much, like with Xanax. I found that this helped me especially when I know I'm going to be in a big crowd of people as I get very panicky in these situations.
