Question:
I don't wanna leave my house & i dunno why!!?
i have been on effexorXR for 2 & a half months now. I hate the idea of being around people & leaving my house & i avoid it whenever i can...this is kind of a new symptom for me ( i've been on many antidepressants in the past )...my boyfriend is getting VERY impatient with my behavior & my recovery...any info or advice??...Can the medication be causing this??
Answers:
I doubt Effexor has anything to do with your problem unless it makes you anxious. It does that to some people.
My advice is to force yourself outside more often. Spend a little more time outdoors everyday.
Ask your doctor whether to continue Effexor.
You didn't mention panic attacks so it's not agoraphobia.
