The literature states that Effexor XL is prescribed for generalized anxiety disorder,panic attacks, social phobia. Is the amount of Effexor XR prescribed different for all of these disorders?

I am 13 years old, 5'4'' and 100 pounds. I am currently trying to lose about 10 pounds. This is what i do:

Breakfast- Oatmeal (about 140 calories) and Skim Milk (75 calories)
Snack- Granola Bar (100 calories)
Lunch- Sandwich and Fruit (300 calories)
Snack- 1 cup of blueberries w/ Splenda (80 calories)
Dinner- Salad with eggs, cheese, meat, a little bit of dressing and chicken breast (400 calories)
Desert- Blueberries w/ Splenda (80 calories)

Exercise- 1 hour of PE (running,exercise, stretches, etc.) and 100 crunches, 50 ups per leg, and 30 pushups at home

I've been doing all that everyday for like a month, and I havent lost a single pound. Not only am I exercising and eating healthy, but Im only 13 so I naturally burn calories too. I should be losing weight, you arent I?

I have servere anxiety disorder and I want to know from someone who HAS it and is currently taking the medications for it, what do they really do to you? Do they make you numb and so that you don't really care about anything? Because that is not what I want at all. I don't want to be the person who is dull and does not care about anything. Do they just get rid of your anxiety and have no other side effect on your personality? I really hope they don't change who I am because I have an appointment to actually get the medication in a week, and I'm nervous. It would suck to become a whole different person after taking the medications, although it will be awesome to stop worrying about everything..lol

Will I lose weight? Also will I get more muscle and tone my legs and calf area? Will my stomach get flat and maybe I can get abs(I'm a girl)? Will I be able to do a split if I run on the treadmill and stretch afterwards? Will my butt get toned? Keep in mind I'm not fat I just want to get my body toned and lose a few pounds.

so since i sarted my new job last year in June I have been dealing with alot of stresses at work along with the passing of my father in 2005. I have been noticing increased irritability, excess worry, restless sleep, muscle tension in my back, headaches, sweating, no concentration, nausea, frequent bathroom breaks, tiredness, trouble staying asleep and being startled easily. My doctor seems to think I am bipolar with anxiety but when I looked up the syptoms of a bipolar I only got 3 of the 13 symptoms. I feel I have been misdiagnosed and that because I have had depression in the past they are just assuming I am now bipolar. I am 25 now but when i was 15 I had a drug addiction that I told my Dr about. Its my feeling that she doesnt want to prescribe me anxiety pills because she feels I will become addicted to them. I may just be paranoid here, but I'm severly confused about my talk with the Dr. Should I get a second opinion? This anxiety is effecting my work and life.please help

For English class, I can't seem to think of a good topic to write about. I'm looking for a topic that has lots of sources and is very arguable. This topic has to relate to the health care somehow.

If possible, please include a source that can get me started on the topic. For this paper, I need 8 sources, most of which are from articles and also one interview (i could always do an email interview).

any suggestions?
