Amen to your post, Corafree. I was "put on" one AD after another after my mother died and I was crying. What was I supposed to do? So I dutifully went along with the HMO social worker, shrink and the private (expensive) psychologist. Now, almost ten years later I am off Effexor XR (most recent medication) and feel more alive even though I have periods of irritability and of sadness over articles, movies which would make anyone sad. I had no idea getting off Effexor was so fraught with hellish side effects. I think I got off, so far, pretty easily. I am now free of all effexor after months of tapering off and down to 0 mg on 3/8/05. Thanks to you all.
