It seems everything I read about it is for Anxiety.

I just got a prescription for it 75mg. I am not sure I want to start it. I am kind of scare.

I do feel depression coming over me. Had to many things happening that broke my heart. Lots of deception in humans...

I told my doctor about it and he prescribe me this.

Hi. Its been 17 days so did you start it?

75 mg is not a lot, its a low dose so if you do need it for sure take it.

Yet don't panic this is a very small amount...I have to tell you that it is not an easy anti-depressant to get off of, withdrawals kinda suck especially in higher amounts. so if you are concerned I would talk to Doc specialist about which is really best for you. For depression, Wellbutrin seems to be an all around good one I have taken. Others like Celexa. St Johns wart is an herb that is good.

Effexor is for both anxiety and depression. If you don't have major anxiety I would take one of the others. Also try as much natural means as well, especially exercise and talking.
