ddiddy66 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm new here but I keep reading that SSRI's don't work well for HPPD. I've been taking Effexor for over ten years. I credit it for relieving me of the terrible anxiety. Maybe to a fault. I could smoke weed and other things with no anxiety. (since reading these forums I stopped smoking weed immediately). I couldn't take Prozac or Wellbutrin because they were uppiddy. Made me feel more anxious. Now, just like the weed, I'm wondering if the Effexor has contributed to none of my other symtoms improving in 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugger Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 ^^^^ agreed. I've been on an SNRI for more than a year now, and it has helped my anxiety significantly. So much so that I believe these visual "abnormalities" we have are something that can be filtered out if our anxiety is treated correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.50's Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Bugger, what snri are you on and does it affect your visuals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
