>Cindy,
Thanks for your input. I am seeing my dr. tomorrow and plan to
bring up these issues. You said these feelings
disappear after awhile? I sure hope so because I
feel more stress than usual with Effexor XR. Did
you have the feelings of almost like withdrawl if you were late
taking a pill? It is a very physical feeling...
My body is definately feeling withdrawl of some
kind... and because I have to eat before the pill..
the panic and anxiety lasts atleast for 1 hour
after taking the pill. I haven't had depression
before so this is all new to me. Apparently this
has been coming for over 5 years.. keeping everything
in till the damn broke. I keep saying 1 day at a time.
It was hard for me.. I was hospitalized for 42 days
and am still not back at work. I am trying to
deal with people who think I am milking my insurance
to people who tell me to pull myself together.
Have been in Therapy and have finally found a good
therapist who is working slowly to get me thru all
this. Thanks so much for your support. It is
good to be able to not feel alone in all this.
Easy for people to say stop the pills...but they
aren't where I am. Atleast here I am talking with
people who know where I am. For the first time
I don't feel so alone.. and lost. Thanks Again
