Is Effexor the right medicine for panic attacks and anxiety disorder?
human
I have taken Effexor for 5 years and I fell so much better. I am 65. I have general anxiety. Panic attacks. I do have very vivid dreams but a concern is that I feel it takes my brain longer to catch up to my words. My brain seemss slower. I am lots calmer. Slow reaction

Effexor has good results with Anxiety. It does not lead to any cognitive disturbances like how you have described brain seems slower.I will suggest you to continue using effexor for your anxiety.At the same time I suggest you to ask your treating psychiatrist to get some cognitive test done for you. I will suspect Mild cognitive impairment in the patient with 65 years.
