Thank you for your reply KDi in Texas and Theo:
I'm so confused now I can just about cry even more then the worse day of my depression. I always prided myself on my good memory. Bills always on time..appointments kept(well you get the idea) But now I forget the simplest and some of the most obvious things. It really scares me!!! I was hoping that maybe this SE would diminish as soon as my body adjusted to the 37.5 MG now my 16th day! Is that a possibilty??
Also, the dr said this medication will have no affect on my sex drive..Now i have to say SEX DRIVE???(whats that)
I see my dr in a few weeks..I think I'm going to tell him I seemed happier when I was just depressed. Hey maybe that's the secret ingredient as far as this pill goes. Making me feel worse makes me realize I was never as bad as I thought ( I guess)
I was primarily put on effexor xr 37.5 because I had a hysterctomy and am going through menopause and all the nasty stuff menopause comes with..depression, HOT Flashes, just feeling plain old BLAH!!!
I don't know if I should throw in the towel and stop taking it (talking to my dr of course 1st) or give it more time.
I think at this point I need an antidepressant just to take my antidepressant!
Thank you,
Helaine
