I've been sober 10 years (AA)and am currently taking Effexor. A million meetings, inventories, etc., will not change your brain chemistry. Don't sweat it. Many good AAs are on meds. Antidepressants are not "fun," contrary to some who think they offer the same kind of escape that alcohol or drugs offer. I'd prefer not to have to take anything.
Effexor has worked for me. Worst side effect is bad memory. But at least I am sleeping.
Peace on your path.
