> I'm on 75 mg of XR. I also take 300 mg of Wellbutrin. I suffered from very high anxiety. It's now gone! I've been in a few very stressfull situations and have handled them well. The key for me is to see how long it will work for me. I tried a number of AD medications. Most worked for a few days and then stopped. I've been taking Effexor for about a month. The Jury is still out.

> For side effects, I am tired all the time. I take Provigil which helps wake me up. If the tradeoff is tired vs anxious, I choose tired.Are you taking the Wellbutrin for anxiety or depression? I asked my doc about switching to Wellbutrin, but she said it had no anti-anxiety component. I've been on Effexor for about a month now. Taking 150mg daily. I've been experiencing urination problems since starting. Anyone else having this side effect? Also mild, negative sexual side effects(not good!). I've had very positive effects with the effexor and my mild depression. It's worked wonders - but at what expense? Seems there's always a trade off.
