mr irwin rip

bean bag toss

We have spent a few small hours of our time watching crocodile hunter. A few nights ago i was watching tv and shane said "steve irwin just died."


It took me a few minutes to figure out what he was talking about. And then a few more to comprehend the ferocity of the internet that we knew before his wife did. The news of his death was on the internet witihin 90 minutes. That freaked me out.

Not that it takes much to freak me out nowadays. I just had an anxiety attack on the balcony after a brief conversation about enrollment at the school.

As such, i have recently taken a clonazepam and i am having to concentrate REALLY hard to type this. I'm having trouble. How about some stats?

Yes!

  • 11 pounds lost
  • day 20 of effexor
  • still seeing bright lights all night long
  • libido hovering at zero
  • social anxiety still at 10
  • after initial stomach flu, back to constipated

Awesome! Makes you want to try it right? Dr. appointment friday where we will double again to, hopefully, desired dosage of 150mg/per day.

Congrats on the weight loss. Is libido loss a side effect of Effexo? I find that weight loss often helps my libido, given that my body image is very much tied up in it.

Do you read justdawn? She wrote an ode to Effexo today...

Good luck getting through this - life is an interesting path, and this is just a bump in your road!

I took Paxil for PPD and eventually went off it because even though I still had a healthy libido, I couldn't have an orgasm. Even when I worked on that all by myself, it would take hours (that's determination, eh?). I went for about 6 months without an orgasm at one point. It may have made me crazier than the PPD!

Good luck with your good mental health work.
