Tomorrow I am seeing a naturalist to help me with essential oils, homeopathy, etc. as I continue my attempt to taper off effexor. After going up again from 150 to 185 for one month, i have to report that getting back up to this level after l week down is also a hell. Indigestion, stomach burning, exhaustion, confused thinking, short term memory really bad, that feeling of the 'big black hole in my head' back in full force. My therapist told me that below 225, the drug no longer effects levels of norepinephrine ....
the fear and excitement i felt at the beginning of the summer has been replaced with a sense of doom, that i am the one whose depression was so far advanced that the damage to my brain is irreversible.
I wonder if doing exercise can h elp elevate endorphins which would replace norepeniphrine? Anyone?
Has anyone received a PET scan or done any research on the clinicial trials for vagus nerve stimulation?
