> Hey Bob,

And the strange thing is that I didn't get any withdrawals. my "theory" - and I hope it's true, is that maybe I missed out on the withdrawals BECAUSE it had pooped out. So if I never stop the Rocket Fuel until it poops, I might not be in for such a bad ride. Anyway, it's a pointless discussion I've started. Now advantage to pondering what I may or may not feel in the future. :)

Actually, Effexor is not the worst overall experience I've had trying to treat my mental illness, but I'll save that for another post. I will say that I forgot to mention that after a month of taking it all sexual ability was essentially eradicated until a year later when I finally got off of the drug. I can't really single out Effexor for this though, because just about any drug with sertonergic properties does this to me eventually to varying degrees.

I would normally think that a drug my sister responded to would be good for me, except that theory kinda lost credibility years ago when the drugs both my mother and sister took (Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, etc.) were always better for them than for me. At least for a little while. I've done very badly with meds pretty much across the board. They've enabled me to stay alive somehow so far, but I've never even come close to getting my life back in any way. Not even close.
