DrugBuyers.Com: Effexor XR and a lack of motivation?

I suffer from DDD and the pain is a 24 hr thing. From that came depression, so I went to my dr. I was effexor for about 3 months a did not notice a thing. I then went on to some benzo's and other meds and did not do anything.

I just started this high dose of B complex vitamins and Sam-E (bought it at BJ's or Costco's) and the depression seems to slowly disappear.

I'm not one with other types of herbal stuff but the depression seems to be going away.

The pain from DDD is still here and I still suffer from insomnia. But no depression.

The depression came to a point that I quit my job, started selling all belongings and went to a funeral director to pre-need my funeral. I would walk in the middle of traffic and hope a truck or car would come by and FU*K$G End it ALL.

To get to one the end of my town you have to cross a bridge.
I though of several million times of jumping off of that bridge. Then I would think of the poor who would have to scoop parts of me up and the embarrassment it would bring to my family. I never had the to do it. The Best if kept off the board I would do, it was un-believable. I almost lost my wife, she wanted to leave me!

Then one day, my pastor who takes his walks as he always does in the morning bumped into me and asked what was wrong.

I opened up to him and told him everything. I felt like a TON WAS OFF OF MY CHEST!

We then walked together and he told me that he knew a person who suffered from depression too and everything that he tried nothing helped (Shrink,meds,group therapy and Light Therapy.)

That is when He advised me of the vitamins and the SAM-E.

I then bought some and tried it too. I not trying to push/sell anything on to anyone. Everyone's chemistry is different, moods change by the hour; people get depression when the winter/summer comes.

I'm just telling you what I went though, what I experienced and the results that I had. I have been taking the High Potent B-Complex and Sam-E and I feel like a new person who is not mental zombie.

We all go through some type of depression in our time of life.

The pain is another story...which I am now trying to get under control. Hopefully the neurosurgeon will give me some relief.

Sorry for babbling hope this helps.

GOOD LUCK
