And tell us of all your yummy fruit escapades?
On a serious note: I truly hope the effexor withdrawl gets over quickly. It did for me. I was off of it (75mg) and didn't have as much trouble cold turkey as I thought I was going to have. Well wishes to you.

Glad. I mean I'm sorry you feel so crappy but I felt your absence yesterday. You are invited to the party as well, if you want to see the invitation far up the board, but you might want to check the added section for people undergoing medication change. I'll be thinking about you as I shake and sweat through my withdrawl.
come back soon. please.

I keep thinking (and praying) about your situation (as well as Gabbi's) and wish I could "fix it"... just know that you are being "held up"... in thought and prayer. So weird how meds affect people so differently, and how different our heads work. I had some tingling, but nothing I can really complain about. I've been off for 1 1/2 months now. Noticed I'm crying again, whereas I never cried while on Effexor. I wasn't on it long though. Only a month. Doctor wrote me out a perscription for another month, but I lost it in the move. Trying to be strong and handle things on my own, ya know? Oh well, we'll see how long this lasts.

Sweet dreamer, well I'll miss you, but focusing on art right now sounds like a good thing. (Wonder what her paintings are like? Swirly color? Vivid fruit imagery? Hmmm. Probably really cool.)
Here's wishing your sore bones and eyes get better soon.

>you, too? Man, this Effexor withdrawal experience is overrated. I am having some physical crap, mostly insane crashing around in my head, tho.
Good Luck in pulling out of it. My deepest sympathy to you, and a 'hang in there' just for grins. We are kindred spirits in this quest to dump the drug while trying to maintain what is commonly called our sanity. To whatever extent we have any to maintain, that is.

Shar..You too : )
I'm still going to stick it out at 150mg-from 225...I think maybe I'm a little hypo - didn't realise how sedating it was for me...take care...
