Hi.
I am new to this site, but I found out about it while looking for some information on Depression and effexor.
I'm 22 years old and my family doctor (G.P.) recently diagnosed me with mild depression and generalized anxiety disorder. I feel that maybe I'm rushing into the medication side of therapy.
Do G.P's usually prescribe meds like this?I've tried to expalin it to my family so they understand why I'm taking Effexor, but they think it is silly and I can just "think happy thoughts" and be better. I've been feeling horrible for the past 7-8 months...crying all the time, so tired I can barley drag one foot in front of the other and always anxious. That isnt something you can think your way out of.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there in this position or if anyone has some advice? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
AJ
