I have been one of those lucky ones that went down slow on effexor (5 mths)because I happened to have a large bottle and was on 300mgss when I found out the dangers and got hope in going off slowly. Well , the personality changes it has put me through as I have not had to deal with vomiting over 3 times but it has cost me friends and I believe opened me up to demons like any drug and its affect can do as any drug addict knows. I have said things and offended many and lost family members that are no longer speaking to me . I have said things totally uncalled for and felt 100% right when saying it. I look back a month later and wonder what the hell my problem was . My advise for those who have the luxery of going off slowly is to limit your communications and if I could do it over I surely would have. I would have locked myself away or not taken calls for 6 months as all I know is that yesterday was my last day and I dont care if I peuk or what, I cannot justify as a christian putting this drug into my system another day. ( I feel fine now and handled my problem in a Christian way) Maybe people who go cold turkey don't have this problem that comes so sutbtily as they are too sick physically to be or think so rudely. So for those who go slowly remember it will affect your personality and thinking. God bless to all, and I pray I have not offended any here. With effexor there is going to be a price to pay , it seems. ( if you can get and take tranqulizers , I highly suggest you do) Jubilee
