"may include mild sexual side effects..." can you say delayed orgasm? (They happen about a week late.... : )
I was given effexor to help with chemo-induced menopausal hot flashes and night sweats. I also had mild depression from Taxol. This is one of the strangest legal drugs I have taken.
Whether it was increasing or decreasing the dose - at times I feel like maybe I'm allergic to it or something. In any case night sweats are starting to sound pretty good after a few episodes of feeling like I'm going to pass out or total lack of coordination.
My Dr is definately getting a kick back from the drug companies... she basically whipped a big bottle of wellbutrin out of her back pocket and said "here... try these instead...".
What a bizarre society we live in. I wll be increasing my water intake and excercising more instead of medicating.
Sorry for you folks who have to be on stuff like this forever... and that you have good luck in finding the "right" chemistry.
