Hi Roo. I didn't have any emotional side effects, so I guess I'm lucky there. But then again, I'm not really depressed as much as I am anxious. I was taking the Effexor for a resurgence of my OCD symptoms. And quite frankly, the OCD caused less problems than the Effexor did. :(
So I'm afraid to take anything right now. If I ever do another antidepressant, I'll go for Luvox. It made me stupid, emotionally flat and unable to orgasm, but that beats agitated hypomania (from Effexor and Wellbutrin) any day, and I'm afraid to try another AD ever again.
I do take my 125 mg Depakote and Klonopin as needed.
I lost well over a month of my life on Effexor and I just don't want to experiment ever again.
