I'm back and not doing well

Posted by wacky on September 28, 2006, at 15:41:09

I tried to get off Effexor - gradually over the past couple of months. I was down to 150mg (from 450) and now have had a hard downward spiral. I really thought I'd be okay cause I felt back to myself. There is nothing going on in my life that would cause me to feel low - so I know it's the meds. I am SOO disappointed cause I wanted to be off meds. I'm also kind of mad at myself for letting it get this far.

I went back up to 300 starting yesterday but I know it will take a couple weeks at least for it to take hold.

I am so down that I don't want to do anything. At work I am practically useless. I thought I was over this.

I hate it. I thought about SI but don't want to have to explain to my BF what happened as it would freak him out - and I don't want to have to lie to him either. So that's helping keep me from doing it.

Just needed to vent.
