You are very kind. Thank you for truly addressing my question. I've printed out your regime and plan to give it a try.
I too was experiencing some high anxiety and decided to take the meds to calm me down enough so I could start dealing with my situation. My hope is, of course, that the anxiety will not return once I'm off the meds. If it does, I feel that I've developed some strong coping tools. We'll see. While I think my anxiety is psychological, I am sometimes convinced it's physiological(especially when I'm in it) and the thought of being on medication my whole life, especially this one that has somehow made me feel dull and always sleepy, doesn't settle well with me. I've always prefer to go the natural route and ask the tough questions. I'm able to make an exciting move to a new place in July (a lot of thanks to Effexor) but I'd like to be fully awake for the new beginning. Moves are stressful, but I'm going to make a go of it sans AD.
Again, thank you thank you. I'm very grateful that I found your post. Best of luck getting off of that last bit of Effexor.
