Hi johnnyj... thank you so much. Your posting struck me as very heart felt and understanding.
Gawd, I'd been doing so well getting off - Over the last couple of months, with the help of my doc, I've gotten myself from 225mg a day to 37.5 every 36 hours.
Problem is now I find myself getting very teary / weepy. Believe it or not your posting touched me to the point where the tears just came from nowhere and they're still coming. I'm caught in a place where I don't know if I'm crying because of depression, because of the cruelty mankind can inflict on his fellow humans and animals we share the world with, or if I'm crying from the joy and miraculous beauty of life.
There's days when I feel like I'm going absolutely nuts.
Oh well. This too shall pass. We will overcome this disease.
I was on Effexor a couple of years and weaned off several years ago, so I know for sure there IS light at the end of this tunnel. It just takes time to get there. Unfortunately, the depresson reared its ugly little head and I had to go back on after having been off for nearly 2 years. This time I've been on longer and am hoping beyond hope this is the last time I will need any of these drugs.
Take care to all. Prayer for all of you tonite.
