Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Hi,
Man my last two weeks have been a whirl wind, After having a couple panic attacks I went back on Effexor XR. I was on this drug 75mg for four years and it worked great. I had no problems with it, other than some insomnia at first.
When I went back on I started at low dose 37.5mg, did that for two weeks, then had another attack (WHILE RIDING MY CHOPPER MOTORCYCLE BY THE WAY!)
So two days later I bumped up to 75mg per my primary docs and my idea. This was July 19th (10 days ago).
Since then my depression has reared it's ugly head, along with insomnia from the meds, more nausea, and just these mad crying spells. If it didn't work before, I would be ready to get off of it.
Everyone says three weeks to get it going, but Man, That means I have to go thru another 11 days of this before I know.
Any thoughts or words of advice would sure be appreciated.
I haven't had a good nights rest in 10 days!!!!
HELP!

Yes I know most anti depressants take 4-6 weeks to REALLY kick in. I would talk to your doctor and see if there are some other options. I tried effexor and it gave me the worst headaches after only two doses. Grrrr
Now I am just on xanax as needed and I am doing well. Good luck dear! Be careful on your chopper!
