hi. I started taking Effexor today.it is a very strange feeling. I dunno what the hell it is but I feel very detached. Apathetic I THINK. The detachment makes me feel like I am some ghost in this world. That I am not here. And I dunno but things seem scary. As if everything looks darker. it is so hard to describe. the effexor deffinetly did something to my thinking. at least before it I would have a very small imagination and ability to picture things in my head with of course bad feelings accompanying them. Now I can't picture things. I feel extra detached from my fiance. I dunno what this is. it also seems harder to cry. I hope this will pass. I hope this isn't some numbing effect. I just feel strange and like a ghost. I feel very dead. earlier today the effexor made me feel at ease. but it seems to be some deadful feeling now. i felt very bad off the effexor but had some small attachment to the world. now I am feeling very bad but in a different kind of way! and I dont like it. I dont want apathy. I cant live in this horrid state. I need my emotions above everything else. I will see how I do the next few days.
