I feel bad about even wining about something like this on our forum. I've been seeing a counselor as well as a psychiatrist to give me my medication. I go to see my counselor tomorrow and I'll definitely take your advise and talk to her about this. I"m currently taking Welbutrin and Calonapin along with Lithium and Perphenazine (antipsychotic) and I seem to feel a lot better compared to where I was when I first started dealing with my emotional problems. You're right though, it will be therapy not any medication that will help me with deal with some things.
The Paxil was numbing your emotions, feelings and sex drive. Now that you're off of it all these things have come rushing back. I don't think medication is the answer for you, I think therapy to help you accept and cope with the loss of your girlfriend. I know it's hard to deal with, but trust me, you will fall in love again and will see why this had to happen. Talk to a specialist about your feelings so you can deal with this and move on. Take care.
Thanks for the response. It's just weird what medications like antidepressants can do to your body. I definitely need to get help for the issues I'm having with my emotions for sure.
Your sex drive is stronger now due to 2 factors. The first is the dopamine reuptake inhibition from Wellbutrin and the second is you being off Paxil.
About your emotions it is something you might need to address with a psychologist.
