Background - 26 yr old female, debilitating agoraphobia/social phobia - tendency towards obsessive compulsive behaviours on alternating days 100mg/50mg been on for about 10 months. originally on effexor xr, but had a nasty allergic reaction. Good things: able to sleep better than i have in years no more tears! (usually anyway) able to leave my 'safe places' without having a freak out no weight gain... actually i've lost weight (thanks Dr Atkins!) able to interract with other humans again Bad things: attention span of a goldfish (constant brain fog) diarrhoea to begin with (gone now) very easy brusing bizarre vivid dreams (although better than prev nightmares) constantly fatigued - especially at my desk job missed dose = mild electric jolts through system AWFUL!! sex drive killer :( I would go the Zoloft over my old life anyday, even with the side effects. I am planning to study next year so want to drop the dose so I can actually concentrate instead of re-reading stuff over and over but am a jot worried about the getting off. I feel as though I've 'dumbed down' alot as I just can't concentrate.
