I'm sorry about the title. I wish someone had explained to me BEFORE I started this stuff just what a nightmare getting off of it was going to be.
Sorry, "be positive, be positive" that's my self talk.
Ok, I am new to this forum and am really glad I found it, I think.
I decided 5 days ago that I was done with ALL of this medication stuff.
I've been on Effexor XR 150mg daily for 1-1/2 yrs. Also, Trazodone 75 mg nightly for sleep. And, oh yes there's more, I feel like a walking pharmacy, I've been taking Dexadrine 15 mg 2-3 daily,(ADD) AND, Prilosec for my acid reflux.
OK enough of the details. I quit everything 4 days ago. I have read for hours now many of the posts on this site and, yep, I'm going through withdrawal. I was wondering, what would happen if I just take the ADD med? Will it possibly lessen the other symptoms? I really can't afford to be going through this right now, very busy at work and working on my BS degree in Engineering, online. BUT, I can't put up with the side affects anymore either.
God, what have I gotten myself into?
Sorry, "be positive, be positive" I don't know whether to cry, scream, pray or what. I just want this to all be over. It is hard being a 45 year old male with a family depending on me and gong through all of this too.
Anyway, I'm ranting. Any helps will be appreciated.Oh_Joy
