I went on effexor for 3 months. My maximum dosage was 150mg. When I went on the med it took me me longer to enjaculate, which is common with this antidepressant. My genital sensivity decreased somewhat but not too much. About two weeks after I stopped I found my genital have gone almost numb, but I can still have an erection and eventually ejaculate. I'm a healthy young male and I would like to know if people had experience permanant sexual side effects from anitdperessants. I prefers answers/suggestions from people with medical experience or had taken ssri's.

Additional Details

I have been off the med for over a year.

I have the opportunity now to talk about my past self-harm (I've now gone nearly 6 months without it,) in front of a fairly large grouip of ppl, and I think I should get the message out there that ppl can recover from it and that they shouldn't even start, but I'm afraid that the ppl I might talk to (who all know me,) might think I was crazy for doing it in the past. I really think I could do a great thing be talking about this, I'm just scared of how ppl might react. I could also write my speech/talk/whatever about it out and have someone who knows about what I did give it so I could remain anonymous, but it's such a dilemma because I want to get my message out; I'm just very afraid of it being known that I used to SI, as I'm still very ashamed of it and ppl might gossip or look at me differently if they knew about what I did. What to do?

I once had a really freaky dream. It was so gross that I've never forgotten it, and I even remember when I had it, which was during the spring of 1989.

In the dream, I was in a car while eating Southern fried chicken, and I noticed that it had no bones and was very smooth in texture, like silken tofu but as firm as actual chicken meat. As I ate, the batter flaked off completely, and I saw that it wasn't chicken, but Southern fried d!ck. EEEUUUWWWWW!!!!!!!! I spat it out the window, then woke up. THANK GOD it was a dream! All the next day, I kept wanting to spit! It was so disgusting.

For as long as I can remember, I always find that I have insomnia at night but I can sleep very well during the day. Why is that? I try going to bed at 10 PM, but I don't finally fall asleep until after 5 AM. I've been missing school because of this & having unexcused absences. I just find myself, lying in bed, twisting & turning all night. I don't drink caffeine, & my meds are supposed to help me sleep at night. What could be the problem? I even try to lie in bed at 7 PM & still twist & turn until 5 AM. In school, my grades & attendance are suffering because of this. Also, at night, when I do get in a comfortable position, that's when I have to pee, & then it's hard for me to get back into a comfy position again.

I have been saying words and sentences backwards lately and it seems to be getting more frequent. I do not think I have dyslexia though.

I've never read a sentence of something backwards, it's always just been when I go to say something I'll mess up the sentence or word. Sometimes the sentence will get jumbled and the words will not be in the right order. Or it messes up in changing the letters..for example, something like, 'horrible band' I'll say 'borrible hand'
It's starting to annoy me more and I really don't like it.

I do have some trouble reading aloud and when someone says a phonenumber or any number, it usually doesn't compute the first time. So I have to get it repeated.

But yeah, I don't know what I have, or is this normal?

Like it's causing me to not do things I used to like, or had to do. Should I push myself to do things, or wait until the anxiety goes away?

I was just told that I have clinical depression due to having so many kids so close together, and other little things in my life all put together. My hormones never got a chance to rest and it got to my head and messed me up! Anyways...I have this constant feeling that I have let down all the people I know! And, I feel like crying all the time, even though the Zoloft really helps fight the constant need to cry...I feel like I WANT to!!?? It's driving me nuts! Right now...I'm on the verge just saying it!
I have the support of my friends and family, but I still feel hopeless!! Is there something else that I could be doing? Anything, at all, even if you think it might sound dumb, but maybe a little help...please!!! I am is soooo much need of help right now! I need an outsiders help sometimes, I think! I dunno! Please let me know what you think, and if you have dealt with this, if you have anything that you did to try to get through it!
Thank you!

They think it's an act for attention, when it's not. I know I have them, & when I fall out & faint, they yell at me, telling me to get up. They did that to this other young lady who had just had a baby, & her baby got taken away, so she had a panic attack. How serious are panic attacks? Are they REALLY serious health-wise? Why don't people take them seriously. If I have an anxiety headache, people call me a delusional hypochondriac & say it's all in my mind when it's not.

I believe I have a serious case of social anxiety disorder although I have never been professionally tested (due to the fact that I'm scared to see a doctor about it -- go figure).

I have been with my fiance for a year and I almost break down into massive panic attacks everytime I am in the company of his parents. I have become unglued at dinner with them, spilling water all over the table due to my shaking hands. I avoid most of their family parties and claim either sickness or another event to attend. My fiance even says my nervousness is very noticeable and that I sometimes look like a complete mess. He tells me all the time to calm down and act myself, but I can't. I don't know why this happens to me but it does.

This happens with other things as well. I am petrified to continue my education and go off to college. I attempted it but I was nervous everyday in class and uneasy. I am a day care teacher and speaking with my boss and the children's parents is a STRUGGLE! Help me!

Ok my best friend is a compulsive lier. She lies about EVERYTHING. She met these two people online and now she's telling all these lies to them about them being in a gang and it's insane. I've known her since she was born and I'm with her every single day of my life. She also lies to me and her family and her friends. Well.....I read her emails and they are all lies. Should I confront her and tell her I read her emails? What should I do? Please help! Thank you!!

Currently on Citalopram (Celexa), but mildly tired. If I don't get perfect sleep, exercise, and perfect eating, I'm wasted tired. Lexapro, another SSRI, was the same for me. So....have thought about SNRI; scared off a bit by the high dosage required, and also by the idea of switching meds at all. 'Try' out too many meds, your brain fries I think. Just like try out too many drugs, you end up like Bob Dylan or Osbourne: ******. So....if you have stories about your transition, please tell. Thank you
