Thanks so much for the response. Yesterday I thought perhaps I was nearing the end of the worst of the withdrawal only to wake up this morning feeling nauseaus, anxious and weepy. I am not a patient person and am feeling so discouraged. I feel like I took two steps forward in almost getting the iron deficiency under control (after close to a year), only to take two steps back having stayed on the Effexor for 6 months. Then, to top it off, my cycle had become irregular the past 6 months (thought maybe I was in perimenopause, but more likely a side effect of the Effexor), so my gyno started me on Depo Provera. Within a week of the shot, my mood took a real nose dive and the anxiety went way up, not to mention the nausea and fatigue. I guess the nice thing about it is that I had become accustomed to throwing up every day before I started my Effexor withdrawal. I am sorry to be ranting, and sounding like a whiner. There are people out there with far greater problems than me. So, I will just suck it up and try to get on with my life. I look forward to being my old happy, enthusiastic and moderately hyper self. Thanks for listening and thanks for the response.
