Hi folks,
Maybe one of you biochemists / pharmaceutical specialists can answer this question:
Why is it that Effexor makes me not give a flying f**k about a whole variety of things - like getting my work done on time, taking up smoking again, eating bad food (like potato chips), and generally doing a bunch of things that aren't very good for me...? Is there a biochemical reason, or is this just about not having anxiety anymore to push me to do things (which would get at the issue of how related anxiety is to motivation / guilt / behavioural controls)?
(I've already posted about the lack of anxiety / anxiety - motivation issue once, so thanks to those who responded to that.)
Anybody have any ideas?
Jen
PS - Anybody heard from Matt or Jeroen?
