Scott, thank you! I didn't mean to state that you said it would be permanent, I think my overactive mind right now just glommed on to persistance=permanent, KWIM?
So, if I take the Prozac, then don't I have to wean off the Prozac, also? It just makes me crazy thinking that I would counteracting a drug with another drug, but I guess if it would help this awful feeling, it might be okay.
My main worry seems to be that from what I read, if someone doesn't use Prozac to kick the Effexor withdrawals, the Effexor withdrawals could literally linger on for months and months. Maybe I am not understanding all of this correctly, but does the Prozac medically *treat* the Effexor withdrawal... meaning it's not just treating the "symptoms" of the withdrawal, but somehow the Prozac itself is doing something to the brain chemicals to actually *altar* the way Effexor withdrawal is handled??
