i have the impression - from reading this board and
a couple of others on the net - that effexor
(or ADs in general) sort of 'blankets' or 'numbs'
the emotions, (ie - dulling the anger and anxiety),
rather than actually tweaking the brain to
alleviate those labored feelings of despair and
worry, and re-ENERGIZING the body and senses -
allowing you to live normally and emotionally, but
without the encumbrance of 'depression' and
'anxiety'.

correct me if i'm wrong, but i get the sense that
many of the people who are taking ADs to relieve
themselves of anger, sadness and tension wind up
feeling 'flat', rather than 'alive'.

is anyone out there actually feeling re-vitalized?
joyful? for the first time in a while feeling
responsive to your surroundings?
or do you just feel'neutral', 'ok', 'unconcerned'
and 'subdued' ?

i just don't want to become an android.
