I have had sereve GAD all my life. I never had any close friends and I never had a girlfriend. I'm going to college soon and I hope I feel happy and worry free for once in my life. Will it make me aggressive and confident in general and towards women? I would just like some feedback.
What was your experience like on the antidepressant Effexor xr for GAD (not depression)?

Hey there NBA, as Pledge said it may take weeks like in 4 to 6, but you may feel better sooner. It takes these type of drugs to build up in your system to get the full effect. I am giving you a link to read about this drug. Please read carefully & if further questions, call your pharmacist or doctor...
