Hi There,
I'm not sure I've "followed" correctly all that has been relayed on this thread.
But .. just thought I'd tell you that my husband has been on 375mgs. of Effexor XR for 3 years now.
Much to my dismay, I have discovered that my husband has "decided" that he can no longer work. He was previously self-employed .. for approximately 30 yrs. For the past year or so, he constantly claims that there is no work out there.
A light-bulb moment "happened" for me, not too long ago, and I realized he has just decided that he is finished with "working".
Unfortunately he DOES have the "ambition" to do all that he wants to do with hobbies, etc .. just not to work. He claims that he is not able to remember things like he used to, nor does he have the patience.
Nightly .. he ALSO takes ambien and mirapex. In the morning he takes provigil. I don't know if any of these could be adding to his "lack of motivation for work" issues ..?
Anyway .. just thought I'd throw that out there. Needless to say it has created many worries for me, since we can't afford him being in this "frame of mind".
