This seems to be a reoccuring problem: more and more psychiatrists are using biopsychological treatments first rather than leaving them as a last resort. These medications should be used as a last resort for most individuals, or used immediately for those who are deemed to be a danger to their self or others.
Behavioral modification, in addition to talk therapy is much more ideal. Unfortunately, we're always looking for a magic pill, a quick-fix solution. From what I understand, the S.O.P. for using anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication (when chosen as a primary treatment) is to stabilize the patient, and then gradually lower doses over time when they become more able to cope with whatever stressors are involved in their life. It sounds like your shrink did the opposite (upping the dosage over time).
Best of luck in detoxifying, Juicy. Hopefully when you're finished you'll seek out another psychiatrist who's less prescription-happy. I actually know a guy who has his own practice. Very cool guy, very smart. He was a professor of mine at Hofstra. I'll give you his email if you'd like.Comment

Good luck Juicy. It should be ok. I know some people getting of Lexapro and Klonopin. They said it is hard but they are making it. There are good shrinks out there that will not over medicate you. So if you need a shrink in time, just tell them you do not want to be all doped up. I thought you said you had anxiety issue, so they should not have put you on Effexor. That is a nasty ass drug. Tried it once and it sucked.Comment

You should also consider working out a lot more and drinking a lot of water. It will help clean out your system faster.Comment
