So I have a question. Been married 12 years. 10 years ago, my wife who had a history of depression and anxiety, decided all the sudden that she 'loved me but wasn't in love with me'. She wanted to separate, etc. Here's the thing. Those 'feelings' and thoughts which usually are accompanied by depressed/suicidal thoughts, only occurred twice in our marriage, 10 years ago, both times during the same year. 1 year ago, to help with high anxiety and depression, she switched from Prozac to Effexor. Since then, despite the addition of other meds (Seroquel, Risparadol, and now lamictal) every single month, the week before her period starts, those same 'feelings' and thoughts pop up. We were both thinking back last night, and the fact that those emotions have been cycling for the last year has us thinking maybe it has been the Effexor all along? We have an appt with her Phychiatrist tomorrow to talk with her about it. Any thoughts? Thanks everyone.... scum |
I would definitely stay away from any sort of stimulant. I've even cut down on coffee and diet pepsi because my MD thinks that the caffeine can work as a drug stimulant.
