Cher:
Glad you posted. You have plenty to contribute with your experience going onto Effexor & the SE's, along with your experience going off (withdrawals). I'm on Day 19. I'm up to 150 daily. Very few side effects. But its getting rougher. I'm feeling more depressed. The emtional *insulation* Effexor gives me must be getting thinner. I can feel the anxiety out there about to break through. I see the pdoc tomorrow.
Good luck. p.s. it shouldn't be too late for you to schedule that appointment with the *shrink*!
Kim> Hi everyone. I'm still keeping up with the posts and wanted to let you all know that I am thinking about all of you and wishing you all no SE's, and no anxiety.

I have never had a drinking problem, drinking rarely to occasionally and I'm going to grab a wine cooler I just bought because I'm thinking I need something to sleep. I'm a bit upset about it.

I couldn't follow through with either cause of the SE freaking me out too much (I'm probably a hypochondriac). He wanted me to see the shrink there, and had the nurse give me name & the recommendation so I can get the appointment. When the nurse tried to give it to me - I told her I'd pass. Another Big Mistake, huh!

> I am feeling the anxiety already pushing up, the stress building, the panic and...I miss the 6 days of no cares, no worries, nothing matters, so what of the Effexor (except the SE's) but I CANNOT do the SE again,I'd just lose it completely.
