Effexor and sex drive / libido?
I'm wondering what peoples' dose is on Effexor and how it affects you sex drive. I ask as I'm reading some, but not many, reports of (men's ?) sexual drive returning to a more normal state at doses of 225 mgs and above but can't find any study to back this up. Thank you
Taking Lexapro for the first time, how long before I feel any effects?
This is my first time being diagnosed and treated for depression and anxiety. It slammed into my life two-months ago.

Has anyone lost hair on Viibryd? Does it grow back?
I've been on a small (10mg) dose of Viibryd for 3 months. My hair is falling out badly. My doctor has taken me off it due to this as well as it not being very helpful - daily crying. I am hoping my hair will grow back. Any help from anyone who's been through this is greatly appreciated.

I took SSRI and SNRIs for almost 20 years and stopped taking them gradually, the latest of these being Abilify which I stopped in Nov. 2017 and Cymbalta which I stopped in February 2018.
