I've been thinking about going back on meds, but I don't know. I've been fighting this crap for over six years without it, and it seems like I've been spinning my wheels. Half my energy on even the best days is devoted to calming myself down. I'm scared, I guess, of starting on meds because I feel like I'll be caught in an endless cycle of new meds with different side effects, plus scared of the withdrawal effects of those meds. Isn't effexor really kind of vicious when it comes to coming off? I think I've read some accounts on here of "brain zaps" and other bad things. I don't know, maybe I should give it a shot.
