>I did a stint on Effexor alone, as well as Celexa combined with Welbutrin SR. I too got a partial response from both, but the second one especially started producing unpleasant physical side effects, like breathing problems. One thing that makes these drugs hard for me is getting off of them when the situation turns sour. Effexor was nasty to get off of, and so was Anafranil. They were the worst. Oh, and benzos! Any change down in a benzo dose really hits me hard. It causes almost immediate suicidality.
