Hi guys,
New here so hello
I was previously on 20mg but went up to 40mg. 20mg wasn't really doing much and at 40 I am having more side effects.
PLEASE NOTE - I'm not taking ADs for depression but for a health issue which causes me to blush quite frequently. It's called Chronic Blushing
Side effects since going up to 40 are..
I absolutely can not drink alcohol - it changes my personality completely and I get blackouts and complete memory loss.
My sleep is terrible, constantly interrupted and at most 4 hours a night (yes, I take the tablet in the morning)
Loss of sex drive and my wang / willy just has no life in it, feels limp. I can get it up but it's not as impressive as normal :(
Dry mouth - Had an interview the other day and could barely talk in it!
The annoying thing is that I don't want to give up alcohol, I really enjoy alcohol in moderation and would like to drink occasionally.
My question is, if I change to Effexor is there a chance it won't have such a terrible interaction with alcohol?
I also hate (this may sound silly) that I can't take MDMA on ADs. I'm very educated about it and would only take it 1/2 a year at the correct dosage but meh
I've also Mirtazapine but that didn't agree with me at all. Main side effect here was constipation and massive appetite increase.
Thoughts please?
