"It seems like this aspect of psychotropic drugs isn't talked about all that much - the disinterest or "shutting down" - or even the meanness that I experienced w/my hubby. "
I, too .. am very glad that I found this topic and chose to "vent" here. This thread has helped me (hugely!) in putting my finger on what is more than likely going on with my husband because of the meds he has been on for the past three years.
This thread, giving me another huge "light-bulb" moment will help me in communicating with husband's psychiatrist.
It's kind of scarey though, 'cause husband used to go into "rages" very easily. Those have been (more or less) minimized since he has been on the Effexor .. but the downside is the obvious .. NOT working and spending a lot of money on his drinking. (There IS more .. but that is the "jist" of it ..)
Lonely .. I DID get your email and am in the process of responding.
Best To All ..
