I've taken Effexor and it helped me a lot with anxiety but made me depressed and lack motivation. I used Trazodone for about 4 weeks very small dose only at bedtime. It helped me fall asleep but not stay asleep, after 3-4 weeks I started to be very nauseous during the day and felt ill often so I stopped it. It had helped my anxiety somewhat. I started using probiotics and psyllium husk for IBS-D, and a CPAP for sleep apnea as well as exercising and all this seems to have helped greatly for now, hope it continues.

I was given 50mg but was told I can cut it in 4 since I'm sensitive to meds. I was cutting it even more and it was still working at around 8-10mg but eventually was taking 12.5mg at bedtime.

Hi there I am on fluoxetine, one every morning, I find if I take anything else with it itups my anxiety. Just a thought please talk to your doctor . Health anxiety guy made some good points. The reason being if our gut bacteria is out of whack it causes anxiety and depression.x
