Trivastal no effect

Posted by Babak on September 23, 2011, at 8:12:41

Hi,
I have been suffering from depression for most of my adult life with two total break downs which I have since recognized to be more like ADD/ADHD.
I have exhausted all the usual ADs as well as VNS and ETC.
They have all been only partially effective. I say partially because none of them except Effexor have managed to help me with anhedonia and lack of drive.
Effexor helped a little with regards to drive , not anhedonia but it had so many side effect. In any case I put up with it for seven years but in the end I developed heart valve problems and had to have my aortic valve replaced and because of my age 52 I can no longer handle large doses of Venlafaxine
Anyway a few weeks ago, after having read so many positive comments about Trivasta I ordered some through the web without my NHS Pdoc knowing about it. As suggested I started with 50mg and then went up to 100mg (2x50mg Trivastal LA). IT has been a week now but I have noticed almost no effect. If anything I feel worse; I am even less capable to concentrate enough to get anything done, I am just as unsociable as before and I still don't enjoy listening to music or have recovered any of my libido which disappeared completely sometimes in 2004.
Should I continue with this thing or not? Most people seem to have noticed the effects within hours. Considering its short half-life one would have expected to notice the effects a lot quicker. And what does it mean If it doesnt have any effect on me?
I am fed up with my life because at least until 2004 I used to get aroused over sex but now there is nothing to stimulate my imagination. And the other thing is that this unsociability has left me totally isolated.
When I read about Trivistal it looked as if it was exactly what I needed but now I feel even more hopeless than before.

Help please
