General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

has anyone been on the combination of effexor and remeron for bad anxiety/depression? If yes what dosages of both together worked for you? Thanks

It's difficult for us to answer this, as we are not doctors. Best thing to do is go to a psychiatrist... they are medical doctors who deal solely with these kinds of antidepressant medications. They can advise you on how to take this.

The dosage depends on so many things. How much you weigh, are you on any other medications, how severe is your depression.... Things that I do not know.

Please make an appointment with a psychiatrist so that they can help you with the dosage and how you are supposed to take the medication.

Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

To my knowledge, doctors don’t ordinarily prescribe patients two antidepressants at the same time. Generally they prescribe tranquilizers as a go along med with anti d’s. I took Effexor for a long time, it has more of an anti anxiety effect than a lot of other anti d’s. My personal opinion is that taking two anti d’s at the same time is kind of like asking for disaster. But, as was already mentioned, best to ask the doctor.

She would always tell me that I chose to...

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
