Hi, I am new to this site but after reading alot of it, I really feel better to know there are others out there going thru the same thing as me.
Today is the first day without any Effexor XR and I think I'm going to die!!! I called the hospital to find out what I could possibly do to get thru this. Well, he gave me three different options. Instead of telling me what he thought I should do, he left it all up to me.
The options are:take a 37.5 capsule tonight and tomorrow and call my regular doc on Monday, decrease my new med (Wellbutrin XL 300 mg), or just ride it out and wait for it to subside in a day or two or three...
I was more confused when I got off the phone then before I talked to this doc. I am so anxious, shaky, nauseated, lightheaded and weepy I can hardly stand myself! I have all I can to just to type this.
I guess I am babbling but it just feels good to get it out. I feel so bad for my husband, he is an angel and I feel bad that he has to see me like this and be there for me but....
I applied for the FMLA at work and hopefully I qualify, but I am not getting paid for all the days I am missing. That hurts too!
Well, thanks for listening and any info would would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mariqua.
