Venlafaxine
"I started having panic attacks at age 10, always been a struggle, then started having really bad bouts of depression.  Things got to stage where I was just so tired of being scared all the time and finding it hard to function. I've been on many antidepressants through the years,   Lexapro I had been in for over 10 years,  phych weaned me off and put me on Effexor.   I actually can't believe this. It's only day 2 On 37.5mg to be increased to 75 next week,  but I swear I feel a calmness I haven't felt before, surely after 2 days I'm thinking this can't be right, but after reading some reviews I can see that others have had relief in a short time from this medicine. No side effects. Just feel calm. Feeling hopeful"
