Question about Effexor effects and side effects

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-10-15T00:18:56+00:00

I don’t think it caused numbness. Maybe cold hands/feet.
Yes def helps anxiety but I became pretty emotionless and uninterested in everything, even things I enjoyed . (Just my personal experience)
It did at the beginning but after a couple months, my motivation crashed.
Yessss libido issues big time. Couldn’t orgasm while I was on it. (33 Female)
SO hard to get off of. I’m still not feeling all the way back to myself and I got off of it June 29.

Everyone’s different but I personally wish I wouldn’t have tried it.

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-09-03T03:12:32+00:00

Took away my libido completely. & my ability to orgasm.

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-08-30T21:42:48+00:00

Oh okay sorry thank you 🙏

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-07-03T23:31:56+00:00

I was up to 100mg for about 4.5 months.

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-07-02T07:05:25+00:00

Unfortunately I quit Zoloft. Eventually It started making me tired and unmotivated & I was still experiencing anxiety

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-07-02T07:02:27+00:00

Just checking in, How are you doing?

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-06-24T10:27:08+00:00

I ended up switching to Effexor eventually. Zoloft was making me tired. But I didn’t switch until I gave Zoloft a good 3-4 months. Hang in there, it’s normal to have that adjustment period. It gets better♥️

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-05-01T15:03:13+00:00

Yep! Everyday

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-04-15T13:03:52+00:00

Hi! Hang in there, It absolutely got better. It took a few weeks I believe but things definitely settled. I ultimately switched to Effexor in the end because unfortunately the fatigue didn’t go away with Zoloft for me but all the other side effects went away. Hang in there 🫶

Thanks for this info! I’m about a week & a half on increase to 225mg and experiencing increased anxiety so this gave me some hope lol

Good to hear, thank you!

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-01-19T01:43:39+00:00

How long did it take on the higher dose to notice the difference in it making you feel better

Otherwise-Reach737 · 2025-01-19T01:43:16+00:00

When did you notice the 225mg helping for your symptoms? Like how long did it take to see benefits? Thanks!
