I have a friend who's on/or was on effexor. Effexor from what I've read is for patients who have depression *and* suffer from anxiety.

I agree with Wanda..you should talk to your doctor and see what else is available. There are many types. Here is a website that's really helpful www.mayoclinic.com You can look up drug information and disease/conditions.

We're twins wicked_wanda, but you live in my favorite city.
