HI, Has anyone ever taken Effexor for anxiety? my family doc wants me to try it. If anyone has taken it was there any side effects? My anxiety is very high today, not sure why. I didn't work, stayed home all day. I did exercise and studied. I am taking a class on Medical Transcriptioning. I guess today is just one of those bad days. Hope everyone else is having a good day.

Hi! Nice to hear from you. Bad days & anxiety go hand in hand): I hope you begin to feel better soon.
I took effexor for 3 years. It really helped the anxiety & reduced the panic attacks I was having. I had some dry mouth & sleepiness @ first. Try to keep things in perspective. Not everyone has side effects & not everyone has the same side effects. It's a safe drug. Your doctor knows you & your health history the best. I would trust his suggestions. Good luck! Let us know what you decide & how things work out. (((hugs))) jan
