Hey Willow, and all!
I would like to thank everyone for their feedback and support. I feel comforted knowing that there are others out there, who are being exposed to the same levels of drugs (in cases even higher doses. And they are doing well.)
I am in fact doing very well on the drug. It has given me no serious side effects, and the ones I mentioned in my previous posts are not bothersome.
However, I do go off my Lithium sometimes, because I feel pretty level, to the point where I just graduated from a long degree at university and I couldn't even feel happy.
But I guess I would rather that, than be in hospital, which is where I was, before I started the Effexor (and the Lithium)I can't see myself being told by my p.doc that Iwill be allowed to lower the dose anytime soon, so I will be seeking your reassurence in the future!
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I really was about to come of the meds cold turkey.Kind thoughts,
Tay
