Hello all,
I would just like to know if anybody can help me out. My Fiancee has just recently started taking this drug to treat her with her depression and PTSD. I have noticed in just the few weeks she has become withdrawn. Her emotions and caring self has disappeared. The caring loving romantic side of her has disappeared. She doesnt feel like doing a whole lot. She seems distant
Please Help ! She is on 75mg once a day.

Did she start at 75mg as most seem to start at 37.5mg. Is this her first antidepressant? Phillipa

I take Effexor and it does seem to blunt emotional reactivity and does cause some sexual disinterest.
