Are you in therapy? Sounds like you need to be, if possible. Drugs alone won't cure it. Hope the Effexor works again, but remember, it's hard to go off of and if you just take another drug before withdrawing from a previous one it's very hard to know what's causing what. And as for getting addicted to valium, were you really? I mean, these drugs are all addictive in their way, since they're hard to stop and when you do you're back where you started. Just a not, the naturopath may at some time want you to stop medication and go all natural. If you do, make sure whoever is treating you knows how to taper you off Effrexor properly.

AH- this is my story.
You don't say why you went on Effexor in the first place, so there's no way to know if you're suffering from withdrawal, which is very common with Effexor, of whether when you stop you relapse to what you were before you started taking it. If it works, why stop? If you stopped because you feel you didn't need it any more and you were feeling fine, then it might be withdrawal, which means you stopped too quickly for you, since everyone's going to have a different experience.
