In reply to Irritable on Effexor....Is anyone else?, posted by tmgirl on July 23, 2003, at 23:48:46
Effexor actually helped my marriage because 1) I was less angry and 2) I was more confident in expressing my affection to him.
KDi in Texas> Hi all...today I started 75mg following a week of 37.5 now. I do feel like it is helping although I find I am WAY more irritable on effexor than off the effexor all together. Is this common? I have almost no patience at all with my husband & kids and the worst part is, that the effexor makes me feel like "I really dont care". I dont like having that feeling towards them but feel as though I just cant help it. I fear this is going to hurt my marriage because my hubby isnt even talking to me at all and when he does it is just to argue. I feel like when we both give up than thats when we are in trouble. Its as if I dont know him anymore and he doesnt know me eaither. WOW this is strange. I know I need something to help with the depression but at the same time I dont want to have that "I dont care about anything" attitude. Also, does the irritability go away soon?
> Sorry to go on and on I just had to vent some! AAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
