Laurie,
I'm so sad to hear about your very close encounter with death. I can though, understand it. I came off of Effexor once, and the withdrawl can be horrible. I don't think that many people can understand how terrible; it's worse than any other med that I've come off of. (I'm back on it now...)
I think you've done some really good things, such as calling 911, getting the treatment that you need, and coming here.
Should you find yourself with more difficulties, please feel free to let us know, or go to Pshchobabble open, just talking can make a world of difference. You might want also to keep the phone number for your local Emergency Services crisis line handy too.
I'm so glad that you decided to live. You have a strong spirit. You also know that there are many people who like having you around. This may have been your first post here, but I, for one, would like to see more.
Please take care of you.
(((((((((Laurie))))))))))Dee.
