Yes the effexor xr has helped my depression, at my high I was taking 225mgs, I felt numb(NO FEELINGS) no motivation and I slept 18hrs a day I had no desire for sex (WHICH I HAD NOT WANTED FOR ALMOST A YEAR)..this was not the way I wanted to live! but on the good side I was not feeling suicidal anymore. To cut a long story short! I went down to 75mgs and I found I started to feel!the depression, anxiety, social phobia all started to lift and YES I FOUND I HAD AN RENEWED INTEREST IN SEX...WHICH I ADAMS DON'T THINK IS A BAD THING!!!
