In reply to anyone had success going off medications? and...., posted by dragonfly25 on January 15, 2004, at 5:55:58
It's only been two weeks but I feel better than ever. I tapperred myself off of Effexor. The side effects were so bad that i am just thankful to feel like myself again. I still have some trouble sleeping but thats also due to the fact I'm not working and I like to stay up late. This doesn't help me funtion in the real world though.
I went off this medication without talking to my doctor. I like my doc. It the system that only allow her to spend 10 mins with me that feels wrong. I could say anything get what ever drug i want. Instend i truely want to be well. I feel as though I have to be extremely proactive and in tune with myself to get my needs meet. This is saying alot. It bothers me how much power other people give away to doctors. My father would be horrified to know i went of meds without the concent of my doc. I tell my doctor what i need and she assist me, that's how it should be. The doctor aren't the ones going though this crap going on and off meds.
