"i&#039;ve been on lexapro 20mg and vistiril 100mg for about 2 years. they worked at first but i kept having to take higher doses without any results (those were the ending doses). went to my doctor and she gave me effexor 75mg in place of lexapro and it&#039;s working wonders! absolutely 0 anxiety. she gave me the benzo klonopin as well, but i barely have to use it because effexor is doing the trick. it&#039;s wonderful to have my life back again, and i thank god for giving me a medication that works."
