I've been having a lot of anxiety recently after being in venlafaxine for quite a while. I've seen some other posts about anxiety being bad but I'm not sure if it's from people starting it or what. Any ideas on how to cope besides taking an anxiety med that makes me tired?

I went through the same thing. It was the best for my pain and fatigue but I was crazy with anxiety. Have you tried Desvenlafaxine? It's a little calmer than venlafaxine which makes a little less effective but still it's helping a lot
I took that for a long time like almost 3 years and I still had issues with very high anxiety. I finally convinced my dr to change my medication and im finally starting to feel better. Just be warned when you stop taking venlafaxine you go through what my therapist called emotional withdrawal. I would be driving down the highway and start crying hysterically for no reason.
