Thanks for the support - if I had to do it all over again, Prozac would have definitely been the way to go.
For anyone who is about to embark on this (or to try to explain to people what this feels like) the best I can come up with is this is like getting drunk in reverse. Once the hot flashes and intense nausea began to subside last night the crazy crying jag started. It wasn't a "my life is horrible" type thing - quite the opposite! I was halfway to calling people (like my high school boyfriend who dumped me 15 years ago, etc.) to tell them how beautiful the world is and how all is forgiven and we're all just one big organism called Life that is re-experiencing itself over and over again and that there is no good or bad or right or wrong, just different and that's the genius of God and hey, man, we should like, hug each other more and maybe kids wouldn't be killing themselves and....." Weird Weird Weird.
But then I started to throw up so it sorta put the kibosh on that.
(If you knew me, you'd know how completely *not* me this is. When I'm not puking my guts out on Effexor withdrawal I am an attorney who defends big Pharma in products liability cases -- hence the nickname KarmicJustice!!)
*thoughts, prayers, and good vibrations to everyone on here...knowing this too shall pass has made it slightly more bearable...*
