[MENTION=18789]artyboy[/MENTION], I take venlafaxine, which is the generic version of Effexor. It is an SSNRI and somewhat different than an SSRI. Sometimes it bothers me to be less sensitive than I really am but the overall effect is helpful. Being around other people helps. Having a good hobby or two helps. Being outside and getting mild exercise definitely helps. The basic idea is to get outside of yourself and to enjo some form of self expression. Draw, sing, read or whatever. Just don't brood.
Most my hobbies are getting to hard for me these days or bore me.
They main one I want to get back into though is art. Seems my anxiety is causing an artist block which I've had for a few years.
Hmmm I'm seeing a psychiatrist on Friday so I'll see what they say.
It's interesting to hear how it effects us
