I was diagnosed about 2 years ago with anxiety and depression.?

Question

Since then I have been on several types of medicine. I am currently taking Cymbalta and Effexor. Are there any better medicines for this?
Are there any other things I can do to help with it. I moved away for my hometown to get away from the stress and I am feeing better. Can I taper off of the medicines or will I always need them? Thank's for your help.

I have been feeling great. I went to counciling for 6 months and found that I had a hard time dealing with family issues. (addict brother, and mom codependent.) I moved from Illinois to Florida to distance myself from the distructive behavior. Since then things have really been much better.

I understand that you are not doctors. It is just nice to know what others have done to deal with this type of situation. I go to the doctor every 2 months and update him on my issues. He helped me taper off my anxiety medicine.
