Effexor is a very effective drug for many people. It may be a very good choice for you, and it's worth trying it if the Prozac isn't giving you the relief you need right now.
There's another, newer drug in the same class called Cymbalta, but there's less experience with it because it's only been on the market for about four years, and it's not available as a generic -- which I think Effexor is now? -- so depending on your reservations about Effexor, that might also be an option for you.
Can you identify your reservations about Effexor? Is there any reason you're not uncomfortable with the idea of switching?
Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
