I have been taking 75mg of effexor for about 3 years, with no real side effects. It seems to help with my driving panic disorder. I notice if I skip a day, I really feel lousy.

I was recently diagnosed with aspergers and was wondering if anyone had some knowledge of what medication i could look into that might at the very least curb my disruptive and obnoxious tendencies of whole body twisting/movement.

I have GAD, have had it all my life. I've tried booze, pot (when I was younger) paxil and wellbutrin. The booze damn near killed me so I gave it up/ Smoking grass was great and did the job for about 20 years but as the potency began to increase in the 90's I began to get paranoid and axious rather than being relaxed. So I finally gave it up. Paxil worked but killed my ...

I've been diagnosed as bipolar - my other disorders get overlooked, because they are not considered as serious. I think I suffer from generalized anxiety and other disorders that are intricately related, but not yet diagnosed. I have severe anxiety though, but have just started Buspar in last few weeks for severe anxiety. I just wanted to say that even at a very small dose, I have experienced a noticable reduction in my anxiety. I ...
