I will tell you that after 8 weeks on the appropriate dose of Effexkr, my depression lifted, which was a BIG
relief. I still have mild I moderate
anxiety, but anxiety, accordingly my pdoc is harder to treat than depression. It takes longer for it to resolve. Ask your doc about medication and don't give up. It can be a long road, but u WILL make it. And try not to worry about other possible health issues. Depression and anxiety is enough to deal with and get over.
