Do you suffer from depression along with CFS?
I understand that nortriptyline and phenelzine have been tested for treating CFS with some success. Phenelzine might end up helping with the anxiety.
How has Effexor fared as a treatment? I know Cymbalta is being looked at. I guess it is possible that you would have a negative reaction to any drug that potently inhibits the reuptake of serotonin. For this reason, you might want to try nortriptyline or an MAOI first.
It might be counterproductive to attempt to judge the utility of a drug so early in a trial. It can take weeks or months to respond. Of course, it probably doesn't make sense to stay on a drug that you react negatively to.
