In reply to doing better, posted by sassie on December 8, 2005, at 11:31:29
Hi everyone. I'm glad you are all doing better. For the record, I am now exactly 2 weeks Effexor free. I cannot believe that a drug I took for 3 weeks took me 4 weeks to get off, and is still affecting me. It has turned my life upside down!!
For the most part I am going about my daily business, but I am still getting those awful Effexor headaches (you know the ones I mean!) in the afternoon and evenings, and still feeling very tired. I had Chronic fatigue 2 years ago, and I am certain Effexor has caused a minor relapse in this. The insomnia is still pretty bad, and I still feel emotional at times.
My heart goes out to anyone trying to deal with this - it is truly the most awful thing I have ever had to go through. It's so good that boards like this exist so we know we are not insane and can get the support of others. Take care everyone.
