Ok well with all SSRI's you will get the sexual side effects. Of course I have that. I also had some good days and some bad days on the stuff, I am also a girl though who's chemicals shift a bit befor my period. These things are so minor compared to how bad I was feeling a year ago. I thought I was losing my mind, Crying constantly for no reason, Horribly depressed and wanted to killmyself. I have done a complete 180 in the past year. I still get occasional anxiety but I am also under a lot of stress with school and work. Everyone gets anxiety and you just need to learn how to manage/deal with it. I feel that if it were not for the Effexor I would have been a mess for a lot longer than I was.
For all the people out there who think there is no hope....THERE IS HOPE!!! You just need to find the right med that works for you. Good luck! Robyn
