Is it ok To try this med for the 2nd time?

[Ethansmom]

Initially it gave me anxiety when starting and I believe when that left, I had insomnia. I gave up on it. I have anxiety, panic disorder, depression, and OCD. I tried it for maybe two week. Unfortunately I have a fear of trying medication so that could have contributed. My doctor said I could try this again? What are your thoughts? I only take klonopin . I also go to weekly therapy.

I tried this one before and I think it made me more anxious in the beginning so I stopped taking it. My doctor prescribed 25MG- take half a pill twice a day. We always start low with me since i'm so sensitive to meds and very AFRAID of med. What can I do to help me try it. I should start it tomorrow, but am scared. I do have klonopin and Xanax to soften the anxiety when starting. I'm anxious right now just by thinking of starting Effexor and I took my morning dose of klonopin. help! advice? I need to get rid of this anxiety for myself and my family. It's ruining me....
