Hey all,
though I might post some good news. About three days ago after 6 weeks of 150mg day effexor XL I started to feel better. Calmer somehow. I had two days before an exam I was dreading and up until then I had been very down. Really crawling the walls at 4am. Then Calm, it got better the next day and has been better today. My dog died three days ago, I felt sad for a bit. I feel it did blunt the emotion quite a bit, I dont feel anything now. but on the day it happened it felt like a *real* emotion, not litteraly the end of the world and not a wonderful occurrance. I hope blunted emotion isnt that prevelent. We all must hate the big lows and big highs, but the mediums can sometimes feel good. I am realising the extent of my depression now, symptoms I hadnt even noticed are going. This sounds silly. but I hadnt noticed that for possibly 2 years I havent felt sexualy attracted to the strangers on the street and its strange- Like a dog on heat! I hadnt noticed It! over the years my libido stopped so much that I had forgotten what it was! There is other stuff but this is the wierdest and possibly most entertaining.
So I will keep you all posted
