I know exactly wht you mean about feeling like people are looking at you... trust me... I love going to the gym and it used to drive me nutttsss... I'd be lifting and someone would be lifting next to me and i would be so fixated on thinking that they were watching me... when they so were not... haha... rediculous i know but that's how we feel... I know what you mean... It's been i just looked at my callander 7 weeks since i started taking at the max does of 150mg a day.. two small lil pills... no big deal at all... another thing that's important to take is a multivitamin every day... just take it with your medication... My doctor stressed that this is very good for the body and mind if you're not already taking one...
Starting the effexor xr was like a rollercoaster at first... there definitly were up's... and downs... there was actually some increased anxiety at times... (not all that much) but i had some but that went away.. i just told my self that it was a side effect and it will go away cause other's had it too... but like i said it was like a switch after like 4-5 weeks... i mean i was a smoker for like 6 years... a pack a day... and it was so strange when all the sudden i had no urge to smoke anymore... and i go out alot in the city.. and i never thought i could be out drinking and not want to smoke... but i don't even want one then.. it's so strange... just gone... I'll take it though.. better for my body and saves me 5 dollars a day... haha... :)
ok almost lunch time... (i was out last night and I so don't feel like doing work today... haha..) a lil more about me i'm a project engineer and i have my own office... so it looks like i'm in here doing work... but i'm really just makeing sure the trees outside don't go anywhere..... and like you if you saw me you'd so not think that i was someone with depression and anxiety problems... when i sometimes talk about it with my friends they are so stunned... but seriously it's an internal battle in our mind that nobody else can see.... but we sure know it's there... :)
