Hey Vincent Marcus I usually don't recommend people to get off of anti-depressants even though they have done nothing good for me. I have been on Effexor and that is the only antidepressant(tried 7 to see if they'd actually do anything) besides Paxil's anhedonia effect that I felt anything and it was a horrible experience!. I felt initially a little more energetic and outgoing,but then I started experiencing horrible side effects.I experienced intense agitation and rage,something I had never experienced before. That drug made me highly impulsive and overreact to everything.Trust me I know . I put two loaded 22 rifles and a shotgun to my head while on that drug and came very close to pulling the triggers of these firearms with the safeties off and killing myself.I've never felt mania before until I was on Effexor and I've never taken any steps even close to killing myself before this drug or since I've been off it over 10 years ago,and I've experienced a lot worse that what I was experiencing at the time.I would talk to your psychiatrist about other options if you start feeling like you need to take drastic measures(ie castrating yourself).Effexor from what I have read has been known to create strong bipolar symptoms in certain people who never even manifested biploar symptoms before.It also from at least my experience brutally hard o get off of because of the discontinuation syndrome.I had the worst(negligent) psychiatrist as he kept upping the dose when I told him I was experience horrible symptoms which were related to Effexor, and that's when I nearly killed myself.Hopefully you have a competent psychiatrist who can adjust your dose or help you get off Effexor altogether.
Hang in there buddy we are all going through this together. Your'e still young with you're whole life ahead of you, and at least you have this forum with supportive people who understand what your going through with Pois since we all are going through it together.I wish I had this forum when I was younger it would have made things a lot easier knowing I wasn't going through this alone and there are supplements I can take to reduce my symptoms.
