I have been on Efexor XR 150mg for 2 years and I suffer from Depression & Anxiety. I've just had another "down" episode which was triggered by injustice and favouritism at work.
What is really worrying me is that my libido has been getting worse and worse. I have no desire for sex and on the rare occassion that it happens, I feel guilty and don't enjoy it at all. I've been seeing a senior pyschologist since Jun 07 and he keeps on advising me that things will improve. Whilst I'm still eating relatively healthy, I'm no longer exercising like I use to. I occupy myself with work (IT), my garden, reading, music and my 2 ADORABLE CATS WHO MEAN THE WORLD TO ME...they are my sons. I love them so much. Mum & Dad are supportive but they can only help so much as they also both suffer from Depression & Anxiety. I'm 36 now and I have been depresseD since 21 after sufferring severe glandular fever and being diagnosed as having CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME. My 20's were like a daze...half asleep, no energy, lethargic and very depressing. I've been feeling a bit better lately but now I suffer from Insomnia and I can't fall asleep without taking Stilnox. I don't drink or smoke. Is this normal? When will things just level out and become normal. PLEASE HELP. (((HUGS)))
