Klonopin and effexor

[sesler]

Any comments about these two medications? My therapist started me on them today. My regular dr had me on Wellbutrin and Xanax when needed. I was told today that Wellbutrin is not made for someone with anxiety. I'm nervous about starting yet another round of medication. Has this worked for anyone else?

Effexor did nothing for me. I noticed no change. But everyone's different; I've heard about good results from it from people I know!

Effexor worked an absolute treat for me for two years - but I had horrible, crazy sweating as a side effect. Mind you, it did work so well I stuck with it for a long time in spite of this.

I take klonopan and love it. It's very fast acting. I have tried xannax before and it took to long to start working.

I've been on Klonapin for over a year, Take .5mg 3x/day. It definitely helps control the anxiety. Makes you feel a little "high" sometimes but in a good way, like relaxed and happy. I haven't taken Effexor.

Ditto. Klonopin has practically erased like 75% of my anxiety. I'm on Lexapro which may be like Effexor. Not all my depression and anxiety is gone but it's tons better.
