I have been on effexor months ago for severe anxiety and depression. I came off it after a couple months and felt really good, more like myself. I still have sleep problems so sometimes I take 5htp, trazadone or clonazapam for sleep. I have been feeling numb for the past couple months, somedays it lasts all day long. Wondering if this is from the pills or from my depression? I dont know what to do.

I have been on effexor since july 2007. previously i was on lexapro. i find it hard to get excited about anything really. my boyfriend (since before the effexor) ended our relationship a week ago because he said i have changed and since i started on effexor and that i seem numb. i'm contemplating coming off them but i'm worried.

i posted 2 weeks ago. listen folks.start with sm doses.75 to 100.not generic.dont drink more than 3 glasses of wine or two cocktails.give the drug at least 45 days before jumping the gun. you have to determine whether your depression is caused by lack of dopamine or a serotonin problem.read dr amens book. wellbutrin is a great drug for dopamine issues but if it causes anxierty try provigil which works on dopamine with no side effects. ive been on wellbutrin 35 days and its been fantastic.

Why Did I Create This Site?

I was exceptionally depressed for a couple years. I nearly wound up on anti depressant drugs, when all I really needed to do was change some of the ways I was messing up life. Antidepressant drugs can change the way you perceive the world. For some people that is a good thing. For others it is not. Some experience additional stress or strain on social relationships.

Most of the information on the web about anti-depressant drugs is either limited theoretical research or a bunch of junky ultra-biased advertisements, although Demystifying Depression is an amazing article which helped me a lot. This site collects REAL feedback from REAL people, and shares it freely with others. The method of collection will most likely be biased toward negative feedback, since you are more likely to research and comment when things are not going well, but seeing how these drugs MAY alter your personality helps you make a more informed decision before taking any medication. It also shows you that you are not the only one who experiences an unexpected side effect, and perhaps gives you a place to point your doctor at if they are not listening to you. If your doctor does not listen to you then you may want to look for another doctor. A large part of healing is knowing that others care...empathy is important to help you find true happiness.

I am a firm believer that depression is our mind telling us that we need to change some of the things we are doing. We all have a need for energy, exercise, purpose, learning, and social relationships. Life is full of ups and downs, and that makes it more interesting. - Aaron Wall
