The fact that it is newer is a concern for me. I haven't checked to see how much it costs, because right now I have samples. I don't want to pay a huge amount for it, unless it will really work well!
The nurse practioner did say it was similar to effexor, but had less side effects and was better for anxiety. I guess that is what the reps told her....So, should I try it or just stick with the xanax? The xanax xr is great for me during the day, but I just get so tired and irritable in the late afternoons. I was hoping taking another anti-depressant would give me my motivation back. I really think anxiety is my main problem, but how can I tell if I have some depression also, or if it just a result of being tired from the xanax? Once my system gets used to it (if I take it continuously for a few weeks), will I get my energy back, yet still feel calm and normal at the same time, or will I always be tired?
Sorry so many questions....I am just feeling desperate.
