that is good, trust your doctor. many times anxiety about being on meds or too high a dose of meds or the wrong kind of meds (benzos) is the anxiety talking. i know because i do the same thing. you deserve to feel well, tell your doctor your feelings and concerns and trust them. dont be afraid of going higher than 75 mg on effexor, i was on 150 for 4 years and probably will be again when i go to my doc in 2 weeks, its much easier going up than it is starting
