Hi,
You write, "As for the GAD component, Effexor is great. It made me highly social and productive. So don't confuse my "physical anxiety" with GAD, these are quite different"
R U SURE?
GAD is ANXIETY- I know when I got anxiety-it affected me physically BAD-Do you mean "emotional anxiety"??
Just wondering,
Kristen

My anxiety manifests itself in clearly "physical" ways--lumps in throat and tightness/burning in chest (it's not like heartburn and I have been tested for acid reflux and for more serious heart problems). This is what led my Doc to diagnose me with GAD. Am I missing something??
