Hi to everyone. Haven't been on the site for almost a month. thank yo so much for your kind thoughts.
Gotta say, I've been feeling better since I've started weaning off this drug. In case anyone didn't know my past, also been on Prozac (not good... envisioned myself killing my most beloved hubby - scared the hell outta me - got off that drug real quick!) Been on Paxil (turned into a walking zombie - gained 40 pounds - no life - even worse than Effexor).
The Effexor helped me when I needed it but then seemed to turn against me. I'm now down to 37.5 a day from 225. It's taken me a few months to get this far. My energy level is going up. Do you know I actually do a few things now? Stripped wallpaper last week...had been "thinking" about if for months and only now can make myself do it. I'm not flogging any products, p l e a s e believe me! But someone at work got me onto this product "Isogenex". Within 4 days my energy levels went up and people at work actually told me that I had done a complete 360. My husband has noticed as have the kids. Right now I don't know if it's this heavy duty vitamin / mineral suff or getting off the Effex that's doing it. I don't care. All I know is I'm starting to feel human again. I'm now at the point where I'm trying to get the Effexor level even lower and the only way I know to do that is to get rid of the little round "things" in each capsule. Was on Effexor many years ago but it was the pills and they were much easier to get off of because at least the pills you could cut into little pieces. These d**n capsules are so hard to deal with. anyone have any suggestions? Even when I wasn't coming to the site I still thought about you all. Bless you all. I say a prayer each night. May god get us through this. My thoughts are with you.
