Venlafaxine
generalized anxiety disorde
"You have to get through the uptake before judging.  I am taking 75 mg of XR and it took 12 days for the nervousness, hot flashes, complete loss of appetite, and weird nerve sensations to subside.  I now feel great and have a sense of calm and happiness that I did not have before with GAD and mild depression.  I don't worry as much.  I'd give this drug a ten (10) if it wasn't for the delayed ejaculation (I'm 47) during intercourse.  Ativan helped get me through the uptake. Buspar (hot flashes, dizziness) and Mirtzapine (weight gain) did not work for me."
