"i don&#039;t normally review anything but this time i thought i thought i should especially considering most people only tell you the negative experiences of a drug. i really didn&#039;t know my anxiety was bad until now. i know i had bad &quot;nerves&quot; is what i call it and i&#039;m normally on edge and get paranoid about almost everything especially my relationships. i got so used to being anxious that it became normal to the point that i forgot what the other side felt like. strange but true statement. effexor has allowed me to handle just about anything thrown at me. yes i get a little anxious but over all i&#039;m ok. i did have bad gas and a headache but it got better totally worth a try."
