I am treated for depression and anxiety as well. My doctor almost put me on Wellbutrin but decided to put me on Effexor instead. Have you tried it? It's different than other meds --- other meds only work with your seritonin -- this ones works with both that AND your epinephrine, which is why it's been shown to be more effective. It's the only med I've been on so far that hasn't given me nasty side effects, and I've been on Paxil, Prozac, Serenity, and Celexa.
