thanks ed, scott, and squiggles. my quality of life is so low right now anyway (i live at home, minimum wage job, no friends) that i just wanted the effexor out, and oh well, just hit the nasty withdrawal head-on, not have to drag out the process. i'm foolish, but I'm sure some of you may have gotten to that point before where you see all pills as poisons and just want it all out asap, come what will. the present is awful, no doubt, but I can accept this willingly if i could get some kind of reassurance that the withdrawal will lighten up eventually. i started to feel crappy after bringing the effexor dose down just a little, and I think that gradually weaning off it could make the present more tolerable, but it could also just drag out the process. i've gone 12 days without effexor, and today was easily the worst day of my life. But my eye is looking a week or two down the road, when this has to start easing up, right? i don't want to drop a 37.5 mg Effgexor right now to make tonight and tomorroaw a little easier, but then just tack on more time to the withdrawal process. i think I may get some Anafrinil in my system by tommorrow morning. How long does this sh*t last for?
