Hey all - I've had a couple of posts on this site, but pretty minimal. The long and short of my history is that I've tried almost everything under the sun (so it feels) in regards to anxiety/depression and nothing seems to help. The one I've stayed away from is Effexor, mainly because I have read a lot of bad things as far as side effects and withdrawal.
Well, I will finally be taking the plunge with Effexor starting on Monday along with Remeron to help me sleep and hopefully give a little extra boost in the anxiety/depression department as well. I'll be tapering off of Nefazodone for a few days then start working my way up on the Effexor.
Along with the general anxiety, social anxiety, and depression; I also feel like I have some symptoms of ADHD (Predominantly Inattentive Type). Lack of focus, concentration, motivation, confidence, forgetfulness, easily distracted, unorganized, no energy and basically just feel drained/exhausted all day. Hopefully the Effexor will help with some of this too!
In a way I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest... but if you have any experience with the combo (good or bad), or any advice please let me know.
Thanks!
