I've been taking Rotary for 3 months and feel I am indifferent on my emotions. NOT depressed but just numb or indifferent in most things that would have normally upset me or excite me in the past. I think its taken away my sex drive. I used to be very high sex drive and its almost non exist ant now. It does have a very good on time with few dips of off time in the day. Almost eliminated tremors. I take 3 pills 3-4 times a day. I just upped it to 4 pills this week. I also have the stiff legs with sore knees, not sure if its from the medication though.

Can anyone else relate? or confirm its from the med....

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Years ago I was on an antidepressant where I remember telling the doctor that I had lost all emotional highs and lows. For this reason, and since there were numerous alternatives, they switched my medication. But I remember how odd that felt going to a Christmas concert after which I'd normally feel so elated and noticing I felt nothing.

A marked change in sex drive is also a notable side effect.

Does your doctor attribute these changes you've noted in your body to the medication?
