i was on effexor for one year and it helped me with my depression as for the sexual side effects well they tend to lower your sex drive but you get used to it and you can learn to cope and hopefully deal with it in time. It is just like anything else. as for emotionally i feel it helped me. However i was feeling very tired and it contributed to my weight gain i feel but everyone is different you can ask some people and they will tell you it made them lose weight. When i took it ten years ago i was 21 and i lost weight at 30 i gained on it i guess it all depends. Anyway i wanted to start trying to have a baby so i went off and have been off for 2 weeks and three days. It is hard but i am dealing the best i can. I see a therapist which helps too. I hope i helped i am new on this site as well and needed some moral support coming off the medication. Why are you on any specific reason? Write back we could chat
