Hello I just have a question if anyone can help me. I was on Effexor for anxiety for about 10 years and it worked well for me. I only had slight anxiety rarely. I had a few stressors in my life recently and ended up having a severe panic attack a few months ago. And now my sever anxiety is back. I was on upped from Effexor 150mg to 225mg. I have been on it now for a little over 2 months and feel my anxiety is still pretty bad. I was looking into possibly switching to sertraline due to the fact that I want to get pregnant in the future and it is safer for that. Just wondering first is it normal for antidepressants to stop working like the Effexor? And because this stopped working do you think switching to an ssri is a good decision? Thanks for any feedback!
