Effexor worth the ramp up/down?

Posted by porkpiehat on August 9, 2016, at 15:38:53

I really need a more vibrant AD to help with my motivation and social anxiety. Just taking Lamictal and little bit of klonopin now.
Celexa was my longest run. high doses made me impulsive and lazy. Low doses made me agitated.
I haven't tried the SNRI route but I hear it's NIGHTMARISH, especially going on and coming off. I tried cymbalta for two days and I felt bad/nervous, and my doctor said Effexor is much less NE active and might be the right thing.
How does it stack up with regards to motivation, focus, social anxiety? I react funny with NE maybe due to trauma history.
I don't want to endure the ramp up if it's going to suck and then endure the withdrawls. It would be nice to be able to participate in interviews without reducing to tears though :)
