[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 695894, member: 15032"] Nancy, My son takes Effexor for his anxiety. 175 mg. and he said that is all that has ever worked for him and he has been on LOTS of different drugs. A good friend of mine also takes it and she says it helps her tremendously. She is on half the dose he is on though. I wish he would dial it down. Rebelson, Like Darkwing said in a post, this is not a quick fix or sprint. It is a marathon. Personally I have never heard of anyone getting sober the first time in rehab. When I heard that I was truly mortified. I didn't want to believe it. It came true in our situation though. We are now on fifth time (two in Florida). My son told me one time that he didn't change or grow up because he "didn't have to". I think about those words all the time. I thought by him seeing he could not live in his family home that he would see that he now "had to". But I just am not sure. I don't contact him much because I want him to feel that HE is on his own. It helps me too. I would rather NOT know what is in his head because I probably won't like it. I'm just trying to be realistic as much as I don't like it. You are doing so much better with yourself. Stay strong!!! [/QUOTE]
