Hey Sweetie
I have just started Effexor, and hearing what you're going through makes me not want to take it. I've been on Zoloft for two years. I have gained 30lbs and have no sex drive left. I didnt gain the weight from over-eating. I didn't want to eat. The sex part?(My boyfriend got up in the middle of lovemaking and told me it was over - "You're not the same anymore" he said.)
I don't know what to tell you. I was put on Zoloft for depression and bulimia. I felt good on Zoloft. No longer depressed, didn't need to binge and barf, life coasted by and I had no flare-ups of anger. In return, I got happy, fat, laid back and sexless. Where's the balance?
My dear, I just want you to know I'm here for you. I wish I could make you, all of us feel better.
