Getting even more anxious

Posted , 9 users are following.

How many people are taking Effexor for anxiety? This is my 4th week on 225 mg and I'm finding it very stimulating/activating e.g I feel very shaky, jittery, nauseous and nervous... not the way I want to feel when I'm trying to treat anxiety 😞
