If this is your first line of treatment or first depression/anxiety episode, I agree with the others. Try some natural remedies first unless you are very ill, feeling suicidal or have anxiety that is starting to ruin your normal day life. Effexor xr should not be given as a first line anti depressant unless you are in a very bad way and not coping with the world? Have you tried other anti depressants before, if not, something lighter like prozac might be a better choice to discuss with your pdoc. This is just my personal opinion. Everyone is different and needs different meds, good luck and do some more research. I understand your hesitation.
