The effexor is definitely making me feel flat. I just recently have realized that I dont have any desire to have sex. When I do get aroused I have trouble staying with the thought that got me aroused.
I am pretty unimpressed with the Effexor so far. I have had a dramatic decrease in anxiety but that could be due to the klonopin I take twice a day. I really hope my doc switches me to ritalin or focalin when I see him. I am really unmotivated and tired all the time. The only thing that gets me through the day is coffee and cigarettes. Not exactly where I want to be.
I was hoping for some advice or someone who had success on effexor with some type of add on to help me figure out a plan with my Pdoc. But there are no magic solutions. Ill see what he comes up with. I was thinking about asking him to order a blood test for prolactin and testoserone as I my self esteem motivation and focus are all 0 (unless I chain smoke and drink coffee all day which is sick).
