For Anxiety "I was on Nefazodone for 26 years after trying several other antidepressants that had side effects. It had no side effects and made me feel like myself again. Now that it has been unavailable for almost a year, I have had to go off of it while starting Trazodone. I have been off of Nefazodone for a month and on Trazodone for 2 months. I am anxious, depressed, scared, and cry every day. I am hoping the Trazodone will start working since it is the closest thing to Nefazodone. I have been going up in 25 mg increments since starting it. I don't want to have to try something else. I am outraged at Teva. Apparently, they don't care about us. I believe that Nefazodone is or was used by so few people that it wasn't worth their while to make it. Back in April, I tried calling and writing Teva and the FDA and got nowhere. I am praying it will be made again, but I don't know how difficult it would be to transition back."

For Depression "Tried 7 different medications before going on this one. Been on it for 20 years. I don't suffer anymore, and this medicine has been a Godsend. I hope it comes back soon. I realize there is a drug shortage on this medicine, so I cut it in half to save as much as I can. My anxiety, depression, and bad mood came back like a monster, like it did 20 years ago. Please, Teva, hurry and bring this back so the ones like me don't run out."

For Panic Disorder "I rely on this. It made such a positive impact on my life, too. It took away my anxiety. Now, hearing there's no more and a shortage, I've been cutting my doses in half and back to severe depression and massive anxiety."
