Infamous (Side)Effexor _{Page 5 of 7}

Ok she has taken 2-3 doses so far and have noticed some change. Her sexual activity and response (feeling) has increased some. She has been very tired and unable to sleep well, but has also been eating unhealthy (no veggies, high carbs, no fruits) and that is the small amounts she does eat. She is lacking energy most likely from the same reason. She has had a few small pimples surface, which normally when she does get them they are big in size (1-2 at a time). Those are the only things I have noticed. I am trying to get her motivated to want to eat good again since it does play a part in her mood and energy. Tonight should be another dose for her. We are going on vacation on Friday for about 8 days and will be taking the remedy with us

Just getting settled in from vacation. Not too much to report. For the most part she was in a good mood (on vacation, who wouldn't?). We went and stayed with family but there was a surprising sexual experience we had (initiated some alcohol however). She was tired from sleeping on uncomfortable furniture/mattresses, eating junk, and always being in the sun or busy as she could fall asleep in a matter of a few minutes of sitting still or laying down. It was hard to take note of any changes this last week but nothing extremely noticeable happened

She started her period yesterday so we wont be able to do any more dosing. Her last dose was Monday the 18th. She has still been in a very 'bright' mood. She seems to still have a decent amount of 'mental' energy and one of the biggest (and best in my opinion ;) changes the last 2 weeks has been her sex drive. It is the highest I have ever seen it and she has a completely new view/attitude towards it seems like. We are now forgetting the last day we didn't have sex rather than knowing it has been a month or two. Her appetite/diet is still lacking but it it is a slow process

She forgot to take her first does once her menses ended and her mood slightly declined meaning just'down'. Once we got her to take a dose the next day she felt better. Her next dose will be tomorrow and she has been doing better. Talkative, active, etc

Sorry for delayed response.

She was doing well after her 3rd dose with no issues to report. She has been on her period the last week so she hasn't been taking it. She said to me that she know she feels very stressed right now but is not allowing it to bother her like it did in her past, and the fact she even notices it is a big difference. She is just very busy with school and work but other than that she is doing fine

Nothing negative to report. However something was brought to my attention recently that I believe may be a good sign.

My wife told me last week that she had started drinking coffee again and has been close to 3 weeks now. She wanted to find out if it was going to effect her in a negative way again but so far it doesn't seem to have an effect at all. Since then she has stopped again as I advised her to. She is on her period this week and wont be able to dose again until the weekend or shortly after

I apologize for the long delay as she has a period in between a couple of her doses.

She has gone backwards just a hair but didn't notice much until last week and some the week before. She has however been really been tied up working a lot and going to school but this is the first time in a long while the stress seems to affect her more than usual. Due to that also intimacy level has gone down some as well

But even though all of that her mood still seems fairly stable and hasn't had any breakouts on her face in a long while

There doesn't seem to be any positive or negative effect. from the last 3 doses. She is still in a fairly good mood/spirit overall and stress still doesn't affect her like it used to near as much. But no noticeable changes so far

There still does not seem to be a change, positive or negative. Her semester at school just ended and she was working full time. She just recently got a new job where she is working part time to prepare for her next semester so there has been a good deal of stress for her

From before the treatment I would say she is about 75% better. Still overall handling stress well, good moods, not tired all the time like before, sex drive has increased some, and just her overall well being.

She has made some slight improvements. Her overall mood is still very good and her stress level is still low. School just started up for her again and she is now working a part time job and taking a few less hours so the next few months may change her mood some but I would doubt seeing as how she did fairly well with more stressed her last semester.

She also has been asking about coffee or green tea. She has not been drinking any but is wondering when or if she will be able to again and her limitations.

Here is an update.

She hasn't been able to take her first dose of her new 2 week interval as she is mensing. However the last few days up to a week she has been very irritable and tired. No sexual drive or intimacy and has been completely disgusted with herself. She has not been this way since before she started Sepia. She hasn't changed her habits at all and has not had any herbal teas nor coffee. Also noticed her focus is gone and she has been forgetful, again odd since it has been a long time since I have seen this. However compared to when she first started Sepia the improvements she has had have not been as prominent as they were in the beginning (first few months of therapy).
