Hey there! You are right that you may need med. the rest of your life. I have the same effects w/ Effexor XR re: no emotions. I do not cry and have not since i have been on Effexor XR but w/o it, i cry all the time. Effexor has been the only AD to really help so i continue to take it. Not everyone goes through the hellish w/d. I quit cold turkey and was fine(for 45 days). That is rare but each person is different. I have no clue what is in my future but i know i cld. leave this world tomorrow and if i did, i want to feel some relief and if that means taking a med., i will. My point is, no one knows what will happen next week, year, etc., so if u find a med. to help u, that is great!! Therapy is an option and under a docs care maybe try tapering off the Effexor slowly if u really do not want to take it. Just do not go by posts from other babblers alone as each one of us is unique. Take care!
