To DA and Overwhelmed:
We are all so different it is just hard to compare exactly with each other's experience. Just take the general ideas and see if they apply to you. I don't think it is unusual to feel "different" before getting really better on these meds. I think in fairness you have to give it 30 days. Who knows what is causing what when we switch around everything at once. I am almost at the 3 week mark of weaning off Effexor XR (225mg a day) to Prozac (20). Yes, I am mixing the two during the process. I wish I could go off everything, but am not willing to try that just now. I have been on meds for 15 years so don't trust the natural me at this point. I don't want to ever go that low again. My withdrawal symptems have really been minimal. I am taking two Omega-3 capsules a day and they have helped a lot I think. I had a half-hour of nausea and leg muscle weakness over the weekend, but it passed and the rest of the time I was OK. I still feel foggy headed at times, but I did on the meds too so hopefully it is just leaving my system. Have been drinking extra water and going to bed on time etc to try and take good care of myself. I have a massage scheduled for Wed. and know that will help move the toxins on out too. I thank everyone who has posted as it helps to read other's experieces and know you are not alone, even though each journey is unique. May we all get to a healthier place where meds aren't the focus of our exhistance!!! Take care.
