When I started with Paxil a few years ago, I was way too intense as far as keeping the house clean, having everything perfect. After the Paxil, I not only quit worrying about things being perfect, but I lost all ambition to do anything at all. I'd hoped things would get better when I was switched to Effexor, but it didn't. Today is my 6th day off of Effexor and even with the withdrawals, I still have more ambition than I have in I don't know how long. I want to stress though that Paxil did work wonders for me and my anxiety problems, and the Effexor continued to do the same. But, I also gained 60+ pounds and wanted my life back. Who knows, maybe I'll be back on it some day. I hope to work through this with therapy.
