four weeks for the anxiety to go away? thats a long time one doctor said 3=5 days now im confused?
Perhaps it refers to that Effexor XR will reach its full benefit in 4 weeks (most antidepressants take around that time to reach their full benefits), and your Dr. is correct by saying you may start to feel less anxious within the time frame he mentioned. I think that is what it is, in my opinion and I believe I did not express myself properly, for that I apologize.
Thanks I go to my doctor tomorrow
You are welcome, and I hope everything goes according to plan.
