Is Valdoxan The Right Medicine For Anxiety And Depression?
Hi, Im Michael . Ive suffered from anxiety and depression for 20 years now... Recently i was the victim of an physical assault that knocked me unconsious.
My anxiety / depression has gone backwards .
I have been on Aropax for the 20 years which has worked but also effected having a stable reakationship due to no sex drive. Also weight gain and terrible sleeping paterns. I have felt like ive just been exsisting the whole time ive been on aropax, feeling flat all the time.
Ive recently been told about Valdoxin as a fairly new anti depressant. So are considering changing.
Do you know best way to change, ive tried to come off aropax about 10 times over the years and the side effects are horrific and have had to use Valium to get stable again...im now 47 yrs old and sick of this circle of doom i cant seem to get out of.
Anyway , l would like to hear your thoughts on trying to change from Aropax to Valdoxin.

yes aropax causes weight gain, dryness of your mouth,constipation,disturb sleep and as other antidepressants decrease sexual drive.now there are some new antidepressants in markets which dont have any sexual side effects like valdoxin,vilazodone,trazodone etc .you can try any of them .its advisable to change medicines when side effects are not tolerable.
