hi 2beornot2benuts,
thanks for posting here in 'happyland'! ..welcome aboard !
> Hello to all in HappyLand! This is my first post, and I have to say Thank God that you guys are here! I came here so many times when going through withdrawl and panic, and reading all your trials and tribulations helped like no one else possibly could! I just stopped taking 150mg of effexor two nights ago, and I'm taking 10mg of lexapro instead, and today I sleptwalked through the day. Can't figure out (for a change) if it's withdrawl or the new med, or a fabulous combo. My worthless pdoc said give it a few days so your body can adjust. Great.Thanks. I'm sure my two kids (2+8yrs old) wont mind MOMMIEZOMBIE one bit! Should I brew some espresso,pop some diet pills, or visit my friendly neighborhood crystalmeth representative? Does this sleep affect end soon? If so, please let me know. Till then, Thankzzz
2(!?) and 8!? year olds? .... we only have our 4 yr old and we outnumber him! yikes!
i haven't taken effexor (although the last time i was at my gp's she offered effexor as an alternative to lexapro) but from what i've read here, effexor withdrawals are (sometimes; for some people) as bad as it gets for ADs ...... more good "news" : lexapro usually has adaptation SEs ... mine lasted about 9 days ... . for a week i felt like i had the flu ... and my 3rd day of lex was my worst, anxiety attacks .... but by a week they were easily tolerable and by 2 weeks they were gone ... but i believe mine was an exceptionally easy experience when compared to those who have had bad SEs for 6, 7, 8 or more weeks, it happens ....
don't get 2B2Nuts, zombie mom .... write to us here .... we listen ... tell us how it's going.
folks want to help ... they've helped me. ....peace,
TAKE CARE!!!! (hey, where's wayne!!!!!)
~ jimp.s. i can't see where a cup of coffee would do any harm ... or three ..... i drink a lot myself ... love coffee ... well, i really like that good strong coffee flavor, in my milk and sugar.... i realy like coffee ice cream!
.... sorry ... i'll be quiet now.
~ j
