hello, I share some of your dx of PTSD, too. Also suffer from panic attacks, major depression, and anxiety.
I took effexor for over a year - it helped with the depression and anxiety in a huge way, but for me I couldn't stay at an effectively high dose without my blood pressure going too high. Now I'm on Cymbalta - and it's the same problem. Is the effexor working well for you?Are you getting any therapy in addition to taking the meds? Have you had any side effects from Effexor? I had hot flashes for weeks! (Sorry, didn't mean for this to sound like 20 questions....)
