My Psychiatrist Is Interested In Replacing My Effexor XR With
My psychiatrist is interested in replacing my Effexor XR with a comparable "new" drug. I was diagnosed with Bipolar II about 15 years ago and have been taking Effexor XR for at least 10 years. I am experiencing higher levels of anxiety and depression and that is why my psychiatrist advises a change. It took years for me to find a mix of meds that worked, I have not been open to change for many years. I would like to review new meds. Thank you for your time.
