I know I can't take Effexor, its like caffeine squared in the anxiety sense.I'm like the total opposite. Effexor was the only one that worked for me, but i couldn't stand a couple side effects. Wellbutrin has made my anxiety worse, i'm very irritable and is making me drowsy. Havn't tried selegaline.
