Have your mood meds really changed you ??So my Dr wants to put me on an Rx called Effexor..

I don't know how to feel about that because ...as much as I want relief from my anxiety and crazy pmdd mood swings....mi don't want to lose my creativity and the emotions that come with it as I am an intense person for good and bad emotions.

I didn't have good results with that one (or any prescription antidepressants, especially SSRIs), but you have to do your own research and listen to your body.

Be careful if you smoke weed or whatever what you combine with SSRIS, because you don't want to get serotonin syndrome.

Research the pros and cons. Some people it helps them a lot. I am really biased against them but some people do well with them. But there are risks to it all.
