I don't know which board this should be posted on. (To the shady character at the top of the board: Please don't shoot me if it should be on the babble board. Or should I say delete?)
I'm starting to find things that would normally upset me hysterically funny. An example Rzips post, not being able to comprehend it in my present state, I normally would have mourned my loss. And perhaps even Dennis's reply I may have found a little trite. But all I did was think wow to the article and I'm still laughing about Dennis's answer.
It's not just the board, it's also happening here at home. Is there a diagnosis for silly excessive giggling? Is it the Effexor? I guess I'm acting like I'm stoned, except I don't have the munchies and I don't feel stoned. But I don't have any motivation after being on this stuff for awhile. ???????

Perhaps, your funny bone has been re-engaged to excess, initially... the gravity of the above is a bit off-centre - kinda like Monty Python...

I've always had a something on the go, but now I'm content not to plan or do anything, but instead am led kinda by others desires.
If it's the Effexor that has lowered my anxiety level so low that I have no self-motivation, will this go away with time? Or can I get it going on my own somehow, and if so how?

I nearly lost my job while trying effexor a few months ago.
Although it did help with anxiety and severe mood swings, the Effexor left me feeling numb and with absolutely NO energy or motivation.
Had I not had responsibilities of work and family it might have been kinda fun to just lay around and watch tv and eat.
But I finally had to explain to my boss what was happening, so she wouldn't think I was just a big wastoid.
I finally switched back to Celexa (at a higher dosage), and I'm feeling a little more energetic (A little... that's all. I'm still waiting for the miracle energy pill to be discovered).
Will your side effects go away? Some people do very well on Effexor, but I have read a lot of negative comments similar to yours and mine regarding Effexor.
If you are new to Effexor, I think only time will tell.
Good luck.
