Yes and No: If you suffer from elevated anxiety levels just at baseline then, perhaps the SHOT ITSELF could've triggered a wave of anxiety that caused you to feel nervous. Highly unlikely to have been a side effect of the medication since it was only a single dose and small in amount and localized to the knee and not the bloodstream.

Relapsed after 10 years. Diagnosed panic disorder/anxiety/GAD. Was on cymbalta 60mg for long. Switched to Exsira 50mg. Seeked 2nd opinion. I am told effexor SR is better suited as Exsira is activating and more for depression. Is this true?
