Depression

[MS]

Halo or methyl-T at 1-2mg per day MAX is all she needs. At this dose sides such as acne should be minimal. Anavar would be a ridiculous choice.

Venlafaxine will almost certainly reduce her libido even more than it already is. Highly androgenic AAS may help because they partly increases noradrenergic/dopaminergic activity which are essential for sexual response. The SSRIs have the opposite effect because they are overall more serotonergic than anything else. No guarantees that the AAS will help, and if you don't see any improvement you might ask her doc to consider putting her on bupropion/WellButrin instead.

I have been taking venlafaxine for the last 3 years and without it I'd probably still be in a hospital somewhere. Anyway, it hasn't done my libido ANY harm . Actually I now have a libido, something that was never the case before... What does harm libido is when you start to recover from depression you realise how exhausted you are and it takes a few months to get over that. Tiredness = no libido.

Prozac took my drive away from me, this made me even more depressed since I love sex!

Starting AS brought it back to normal, if not just a bit higher (was high anyway!). I started on Winny, 10mg per day and that worked.
