effexor anyone???
| Tue, 02-20-2007 - 11:14am |
My dr has just put me on 37.5 mg Effexor for anxiety. I was online and read all these things about horrible weight gain. I have been on weight watchers for a few months and have lost 22 pounds. I need to lose about 45 more. I am SO scared I will gain on this drug. Does anyone have any positive experiences with this drug? I started it last night and kind of feel weird right now. But I am not as jumpy as usual. Any success stories out there about antidressants or anti axiety meds?
Thanks

My dd's doctor recomended Yoga for her to help with her anxiety. We have a dvd coming soon. I hope she'll give it a shot.
GABA, Taurine, and magnesium are supposed to be good for anxiety. My kids take magnesium and taurine which doesn't seem to be enough anxiety help for them so I'm going to try adding GABA. They need more exercise. Exercise helps me a lot with anxiety & depression, and sun shine! 5HTP is a natural pre-cursurer to seratonin. We tried it for dd but it didn't help her much and it gave her bad dreams. I've read recently it works better for OCD type anxiety along with inositol. DD doesn't really have OCD so maybe that's why it didn't help her.

Good luck!
