No interest in things - help!!

Posted by jms600 on December 21, 2003, at 16:20:13

Hi everyone,
For the last year or so now I have been suffering from depression, social anxiety and GAD. Ive been on a number of drugs, but around 6 weeks ago my PDoc put me on Effexor (Venlafaxine). I started on 75mg but I have raised this to 150mg.
The drug seems to work - although I do still get some anxiety. However I have noticed a significant increase in my mood.
Unfortunately, however, I seem to have little interest in things. I am just not interested in things that I used to be. Christmas is just round the corner, but I really can't look forward to it. Enjoyable things just don't appeal to me anymore.
Can anyone recommend a drug I could try to help raise my interest? Should I stop the Effexor or increase the dose further? I would be really grateful of any advice - I want to start enjoying life again!!!
Thanks
