My experience with Effexor was not a positive one. I thought I was doing fine for a few years on it...then I lost my job, my reaction? oh well...my son had a horrific car accident, did I get upset or react appropriately? No!! I didn't feel a thing. I seperated from my husband who I had loved for 22 yrs, I just didn't care anymore. My mother developed breast cancer, once again, I was non-responsive and unphased. Saddest part was that I wasn't there for her in her time of need as she has always been for me. I will always regret that. To make a long story short, I finally realized that my reactions to things were not normal and went back to my psychiatrist, only to have him UP the dosage. Got rid of him quickly and went to another Psychdoc who took me off the Effexor, after going through the hellish withdrawal (was told there would be none)I finally began to feel things again. Got my marriage back on track, found a part time job, have made myself available to my friends and family that I had distanced myself from and resumed living again. That was until my new anti-depressant pooped out on me...., but that's a whole different story. Just wanted to share my experience with Effexor in hopes that it may help someone else who is dealing with "blunted emotions".
