Venlafaxine
anxiety and stress
"I was on Effexor ER for 4 years with excellent results. When Effexor went generic, this is the medicine I was prescribed. I've been on this version for 1 month, and I'm very unhappy with response. I have high levels of stress and irritability, to the point that I need to avoid interaction with people for fear I'll say something I shouldn't at the smallest provocation. I don't like myself on this drug!"
