Hi Anna,
I posted below about realizing that it has been six years since I started Effexor and Klonopin which was prescribed to counteract the side effects of Effexor. Unreal!My primary care doctor gave me samples of the Effexor back in 2000 and then the Klonopin to deal with the incredible nocturnal panic attacks induced by Effexor.
I believe that medication can be extremely beneficial for people and that it has improved the lives of many. However, for me, I have absolutely no idea how I am ever going to get off of these meds. I agree that sometimes there are more effective ways to treat the woes of life. . . for me growing older and mellowing out has been a big help.
I try to take the fact that I am really in a double bind with being stuck on these meds somewhat casually so that I don't get worked up over it. I figure that I will eventually work it out like everything else. :) Hugs, AnneL
