hey Racer...glad to see u back. i quit the effexor cold..no tapering. and depression runs in my family-both sides-so yeah..it sucks. i don't know why i feel *guilty* for being depressed and taking meds. but i am so compassionate towards others and have studied both the genetic and behavioral sides and agree 100% that depression is an illness like cancer,diabetes,etc..i guess i really thought i cld. be ok w/o the meds.. maybe b/c the numbness has worn off, it hurts to feel. i just want a life back. existing isn't enough anymore. maybe i'm overstressed and it's just built up...i dont know...
