In reply to feeling anhedonic on effexor?, posted by sageblue on August 8, 2004, at 17:55:12
It's early, but try make note of what time of day you start to feel anhedonistic. You may be needing that second dose of Eff-XR about an hour before that. I have posted about poor metabolizers. Drugs are used up very rapidly in these people. I just had a panic attack, a long one w/ lingering chest ache, but looked at clock and it was later than I usually take my second dose. I quickly took it. Are you being honest w/ yourself about liking these people you were socializing with, and/or whether what they/you say or do should elicit 'happy'? There is a book called "Telling Yourself The Truth" (can't underline!!!!) I'm always lying to myself. I don't even realize how much I enjoy being alone; someone will show up, and even tho' I may love this person, it bothers me a bit. I need an anxiety med that works. I love my children and want to spend time with them, but I feel anxiety when they sit down to chat. I hope maybe this wasn't off-the-wall for you. Just my 2cents worth? cf
