Hello -- I use effexor primarily as a preventative for migraines, but it does provide positive benefits for me in the anxiety department.

I DON'T take the effexor xr version. I take regular effexor xr, 50 mgs twice a day. The neurologist I see has the attitude that if it is working, there is no need to increase the dose to the higher levels more commonly used for "mental health" problems.

I went from having migraines 7-10 times a month to about 2-4 times. (The higher number is really from when I stay up too late due to working and school at the same time.)

Maybe you could try a lower dose or try regular Effexor (not XR) and it would work for you.
