I couldn't do it Sooshi.
Maybe it was hypomania, I don't know but is was ssooooooooo unbearable. I couldn't stand for a long as I'd feel too weak, but then I couldn't sit(still) and concentrate for too long either. I felt like I was gripping onto sanity with my fingernails, whilst looking just beautifully normal - so weird! I'd shake my head occasionally thinking I would just comeout of s weird dream or something. I've never been on drugs. This must be what it's like. Like, 'Beam me up out of here Scotty"!Hope you are doing well?
Going to my pdoc tomorrow to let here know how I've been tortured for amonth and that I now know about the Effexor hell I'll have to endure oneday when I go off it.
