Unable to reduce medicines
I'm taking the treatment for depression for past 10 years. I feel almost alright right now but my digestion has become weak and I feel sleepy all day because of these medicines. My libido is also non existent. My doctor told me that nothing can be done if you can't reduce it even by 1/4th amount. You will have to take it now for rest of your life. What can be done, please help. I'm on Nex20 and Venla150.
