> I have trouble seeing how you didn't relate side-effects of drugs to bad things that you went through.This is one of the reasons why!! I had a baby 3 yrs ago, an emergency c-section, left with necrotizing fasciitis (sp) and a hole in my gut that remained opened and packed for 26 months. I also had my tubes tied during the c-section. so 8 months after my baby was born I married the dad. My sex drive was non exsistent, I complained to the doctor and I thought it had something to do with having my tubes tied because alot of women I talked too that had their tubes tied seemed to have the same problem, the doctor told me there was no way it was associated with that..so I asked him if he thought maybe I was hitting like a pre-menapause stage he said it was possible..when I did have sex I wasnt all that excited about it but I could have an orgasm. so about a year of this goes by and now I am back into a depression and he prescribes effexor, then all of a sudden not only do I have a no sex drive I cannot even have an orgasm anymore, I am thinking its just something to do with the tube tying thing again until I read here about the people that are not able to acheive orgasm because of effexor... another point, I am a hopeless insomniac, most weeks go by and I stay awake until I am sooo tired I am physically ill and then I finally drop, sleep a few days then back at it again, I go to the doctor he gives me ambiem I take a half one and sure I slept but I also woke myself up doing weird things like sleepwalking, tripped over my tv and it fell and broke, I opened a 12 pack of soda's and left them on the counter, I woke for a brief moment during that time because I dropped another 12 pack on my foot, I moved the fridge across the floor and lost a pack of hot dogs and to this day havent been able to find them, so I am thinking that I did this because I was just so exhausted and hadn't slept in so long, then I read here about ambiem making people go crazy so then I put 2 and 2 together and know where my sleepwalking craze had come from, just seems to me that if the doctor is going to prescribe it to me he should warn me of things.. I do know now to ask if there are side effects, I guess I had just assumed that if there were he would pre warn me of them.. how wrong I was eh? :)
