You know, they have me taking Lexapro for GAD associated with this horrendous condition. They upped the dosage to 20 mg a day after my last "work" induced round of anxiety. But sadly, the Effexor XR was great on all nerve pain, at least in my case! So, after having the best for me, my comparison with my current meds is that they aren't as good as Effexor but they are controlling the pain.

Plus, I'm left to wonder if I'm having the withdrawal crap associated with no Effexor. At times I start to space out and there seems to be nothing I can do about it except be spacey!!!

I'm sure I'm staring at unemployment in my near future!

Boy, I hope this makes sense.
