There is an acute shortage of psychiatrists in this area and my original one folded shop without a trace. At his direction , I took Effexor XR and stayed with it almost nine years without problems or relapses -- except for high blood pressure as suspected side effect. So last year my GP changed me to Sertraline, and then in November took me off that completely because I "probably didn't need it." So these are the only two meds I've had experience with, both good, though I'm wondering if I should go back to what was prescribed by the psychiatrist because I trusted him so very much.
