Such a hopeful bright light! I am 59 and have been battling with depression & anxiety for years ( alcoholism and depression in my family) and just tapered off of Effexor thinking I had arrived to a place where I could handle my life .. then covid, a business with daily adjustments & changes and wound up in another major depression. I’m back on Effexor and pray to god the negativity and anxiety will wane..thank you for your encouraging words

I’ve decided that I’m staying the course with lexapro because it doesn’t get any better by trying something else, which I’ve done 3 times now, so I’m right where I should be.

@caf Welcome to Mayo Connect! we're glad you are here to join us, and share experiences. Sometimes our best intentions need to be placed on a side shelf while we deal with harsh realities. Will you be thinking about tapering off Effexor again in the future, when you feel on a more level keel?
