I have been so interested in all the effexor entries, especially about going off effexor. I recently went off and finally got through the dizzy spells. However, after some recent episodes at home and at work I am not so sure I should have gone off it. I went off it because I felt somewhat flat emotionally. I thought maybe I could handle stuff better and didn't need it anymore. But after being off of it, I now am experiencing the feelings and anxiety which caused me to go on effexor in the first place. I am planning to go back to my doctor and ask to be put back on it. It makes me feel defeated though, because I thought I was all better. I am going to ask about the well-butrin, effexor combo thing though as I do experience sexual side effects with effexor, no big 'O's ' for me when on it. Do I want to exist peacefully with my family, or have great sex? Why can't I have both? I guess I am asking for too much in life.
