I have learned so much on this site - in such a short time. It has inspired me to take charge of my own care - and helped push me to make a final decision to start weaning off Effexor. Now that I've made the decision, I have a sense of determination to feel good without meds. I may be in denial - but - I'm very determined to give it a try for at least 3-6 months. 12 years ago, I was in the same spot - and went AMA (against medical advice) and went cold off everything. It turns out that I was fine - no dips, etc. Granted I had been on the meds for 2-3 years (and it's only been 1 year this time) - but the point is how much my determination affected the outcome. At least I attribute my "take charge" attitude partially to the success. I lasted 12 years before having a relapse which was induced by a boyfriend breaking up (in a very cruel way) with me.

Anyway, now I have that same "take charge" feeling - maybe it's a little rebellious (which is the real ME), so I believe I will be not just fine - but good. I haven't felt rebellious since I first started realizing I was depressed in mid 05.

I am grateful that this site is here - as it provides a wealth of information - in understandable language.

Thanks!
