Do you get Benedryl over the counter? And what is it's effect? Does it make you sleepy?? I'm decreasing Effexor now -- from 150mg, I dropped by 37 1/2, for the past 2 weeks. Now I just started this week with 75 mg.only. I haven't experienced anything worse than the symtoms I am experiencing while on the Effexor. (body ache, tingling tongue & mouth, lethargy, headaches, lack of taste)
My acupuncturist, through pulse reading, etc., has identified gall bladder problems and low blood which isn't surprising since the drug so challenges the liver. Also, a massage therapist who specializes in visceral manipulation and cranial sacral identified gall bladder problems. As soon as my head cold clears, I am beginning another batch of Chinese herbal tea to help build up my blood and continue to help me sleep. The herbs and acupuncture has helped tremendously with the insomnia. I recommend it.
Thanks for all the good advice.
