> Effexor doesn't allow me to sleep almost anything. Makes me tired in the afternoons, makes me feel horrible after missing only 1 dose, delays orgasm until I get tired trying and after drinking amounts of alchohol as small as one beer feels like if I missed the dose and then the next day I don't have libido at all.}

> On Remeron I don't have any sexual side effects and I can sleep well (too well!). But I get very irritable during the whole day, I get knocked out 1 hour after taking the pill and overall I look like a crazy paranoid while I'm talking. After I drink small amounts of liquour, I feel like I'm going to have an attack of St. Vitus desease (if you know what I'm talking about). Also, I'm feeling a little more cold, cruel and "evil" lately, if you know what I'm talking about. Apart from that, I have been aphonic during the last say, 7 days. People say my voice is changing. I am also eating like a pot smoker, but a few extra kilos will be good for me. I also feel a little imprudently dishinibited. There is maybe a couple more side effects that I may forget to mention.

> Have recently come off Citalopram and onto Remeron,-as a depressive the SSRI's seemed to at best make me feel emotionally "flat-lining", so began Remeron which: Knoced me out flat 1-2 hours after taking them and for first 2 days made me a zombie. Two weeks on my insomnia is not an issue. Began eating anything and everything!
What I,in a mix felt tired, cranky and a bit irritable...? The reality was he walked out on me for three days! Apparently I was hell to be around:snapping and glaring! I thought I felt a bit crap and wound up. Both of us have now shared our humble pie, may be withdrawl, or stumbling block, but this is me at 2 weeks of daily 30mg.I guess its obvious that sex life since taking them has been - funnily enough... not there.
