In reply to Any1 had to washout while working a demanding job?, posted by zonked on October 1, 2011, at 19:37:27
I just did a washout from Effexor 300mg; 1 week taper, 10 days off everything, now into day 5 of 10mg Parnate. I made it out OK. It was/is the busiest and most demanding time of year for me. All my annual deadlines were on Friday and I had to work more hours than usual. It was really bad timing but I had to do it. Not going to lie; it was awful and really difficult. Somehow I only missed 1.5 days of work. I really could have pushed myself to go into work those days but was able to take the time off.
What got me through it?? A great support system (find someone you can cry to and talk to), several trips to the restroom to cry, biting my tongue, not making any rash decisions, positive thinking (this too shall pass), and my family. Most days I wanted to stay in bed, but I have mouths to feed and insurance to keep. I couldn't risk losing my job, especially in this economy.
Goodluck with the job. I hope it all works out for you!
