I've been on celexa, lexapro, and effexor at various times, actually was on 150mg effexor from 2015 until this spring when i tapered off now going back on, ive had the same experience every time where the first few weeks are just torturous and then it gets better, and my doctor is supportive in telling me to hang in there and it will get better. its the experiences ive had in the past that keep me hopeful this time.
> I assume you've tried meds like escitalopram? Effexor can be harsh for some people. I can't tolerate more than 37.5mg. Biochemically, not sure, but for some people, antidepressants don't decrease anxiety.
