I end up erasing titles because I dont know any other way to start new subject....sorry.
I wanted to share for those who want to gt off effexor but can't bare the thought of slipping back into the doom and gloom that I suffered with for 19 years of depression.
I would go down on my elivil( which the least harmful of all I am convinced and was actually discovered for people with TB, and they were all comming out of depressions . ) It was very popular back in my day , I'm 52 , for when people got depression , though there were others around, and maybe asking for an older drug might help.These new drugs are from hell in my opinion as they are trying to fix everything like weight gain, dry mouth etc I feel.. My daughter-in-law wants a particular one that is Topamax, which she has been on and off several times with no problem , that helps for people who especially have weight problems that runs in her family and she lost lots of weight , plus I assume it helped with depression.
I am only sharing some things I am aware of and certainly not giving any advice , but the doom and gloom would hit strong in 3 days for me and going back on my elivil could pull me back out of it in 2 or 3 days. Believe me , I tried it many times, and the worst I gained in the 18 years I was on it was was 50 lbs. Never went over that , and didnt discipline myself on sweets !
I just wanted to say I know there are many facing the hell of depression to go off effexor which did work well for me also..
I am going too write on another subject on the horrors of withdrawals of effexor now under a new title. Jubilee.
