> I have been withdrawing, slowly, from Effexor and am tired. Energy level is low. Emotionally I am exhausted, not so much by "depression" but by all that has been going on. I am tired as being defined by "depression." Seems all the books I read, doctors I see, or people I talk to are in some way or another related to the subject. I also have found that its an easy thing to blame, rather than others taking responsibity for their own actions. "He's just depressed" ... when, no I am not, I just don't like their behavior, but I have been labled with the diagnoses.

Hi AllenPlease don't hesitate to tell us how you're feeling. That's what we all come here for, to hear everybody else's experiences and hopefully learn from them. Sometimes it's good just to see you're not the only one who feels the way that you do. I know what you mean about being labelled as depressed. But what I hate even more is when I'm called mentally ill. I cringe when I hear that phrase. :( But unfortunately, that is what I am and I have to deal with it. I wish you well in coming off the Effexor. I, unfortunately am still in the stages of having my dosage increased. Please let us know how you are doing and I look forward to hearing from you again.
