First, you call the police and have a warrant taken out on him for stealing prescripton medication. That's a huge deal, and no matter how badly you are feeling, you cannot let him get away with it. Second, I stopped taking 225 Effexor XR, with my last dose being Tuesday, November 11. Pure misery for days, but last night I felt something lift. I actually am feeling better today. I've got farther to go until the zaps go away, the eye pain and twitches, etc., but now I KNOW I am going to make it through this withdrawal. Do you have a therapist or counselor? You really, really need to go see him/her if you do, and if you don't, GET ONE. Many work on a sliding scale and if they have a shred of humanity in them, will understand what you are facing right now and will work with you. My therapist is a true gift from God. You sound as if you need more help than you are getting from your physician and I strongly advise you to find someone who can help "direct" things for a while so the decisions are easier to make. Show that bast*rd soon-ex that he cannot make you fall apart, even if you think you might on the inside. Mine said he was leaving this week, too. Seems all of this comes at once, huh? My next step is to find out where I can join/start a lawsuit to get blood from the monsters who put this horrible drug on the market and reaped financial benefits from the misery of many. Please hang in there. I am praying for you.
