In reply to Effexor making anxiety worse?! Any suggestions?, posted by Jenn445 on July 30, 2005, at 13:13:51
How long have you been taking Effexor? The reason I ask is that for the first 2 months I was on it, it helped my depression greatly but worsened my anxiety at times. Now that I've been on it for a year and a half, it's working much better on my anxiety, and I have been able to reduce my dosage of Klonopin from 1.5mg to .5mg daily. Also, when I went down from 225mg of Effexor to 150mg of Effexor it helped my anxiety too. Maybe you need to experiment with your dosage to see if it helps with your anxiety.
Good luck!
