part of me wonders if the axiety I am feeling is related to the depression or is med related. The pod mentioned that at 150 there is a balance between serotonin and norepnipherne (sp) in terms of the active component of effexor. I have responded very well to the effects of serotonin (with the paxil). She also mentioned that once you go higher, you get more norephnreprhine than serotonin, which would likely be more activating, right? But I would assume activiating would be more like staying awake, and having energy, rather than contributing to anxiety.
I still have the anxiety in the morning, and when I take a nap in the afternoon, so that's why I am curious. I am far away from being the calm happy person that I was when things were good on the paxil. I wonder if I will be that way again without taking a whole host of medications. Maybe I'm destined to be "high strung"?? I want my old self back.
