    Just me...and Effexor withdrawl

    Keeta how are you this morning. I hear ya...I have done exactly the same thing...drink... just to shut off the noise in my head. I just hope you can get some effexor tomorrow...you will settle down and the symptoms will lessen!! Don't be so hard yourself. From what I read, you are not in denial about anything...just in an incredibly hard place with few alternatives. One thing at a time...you cannot get off Effexor and expect to be perfectly AF and lose weight.
    I am not saying Yeah Baby!! Pour another...but don?t load too much at once.

    I wish the Effexor withdrawal board was still running. You would be amazed at how many people posted there ...thousands!! Remember ADs are one of the most prescribed drugs in North America and all over, right now there are thousands of people just like you that are trying to kick this drug
    . I?ll say it again go SLOW and give yourself a chance to stabilize. There is no shame here...you did nothing wrong and you will find your way to AF AD free days where you feel alive and hopeful ...this I promise can happen....it did for me. I still have the 30 lbs! and 4 out of 7 AF days and lots of hope, because I know how low I was and will never forget that ....I just didn?t think I could get better and that I was the world?s biggest loser.....that is gone but not forgotten and Please keep reading and posting here, there are many of us that really DO CARE and can help you feel less alone.

    Now you have me crying LOL :upset:... I hope it is sunny... that you can get out and maybe focus on something other than the head rushes and the anxiety...you are doing a great job of coping and the fact that you are posting here proves that :goodjob::goodjob: ...you know what to do and what you need and you just need friends to help you...and we are here!
    Take care :h

        Thinking of you Keeta...I have read how difficult Effexor is to get off of. On the bright side maybe the booze will be easy compared to this.

            Oh Keeta... I know that hurt your feelings. :l I think you are a fine person with a caring attitude and a sense of humor. You know I don't know about the effexor w/drawal, but you'll get through it. Try to ignore the badly behaving hubby and focus on keeping yourself on track.You WILL get over the withdrawal and things will seem a lot different. I'll be thnking about you.

              Hey Keeta, I know are smart and strong you are....focus on what you need to get well...this is a finite process...a trip through hell but it will end...as for Hubby, if you can try to quiet it down until you are more stable... You have always attended to your family and responsibilites so maybe you can gain strength from your routine until you see the Doctor...Greeneyes is right, things will seem much different in a few days and really good in a few weeks.

                Hi All,
                again I want to thank all those that care...whether you can understand Effexor wothdrawl directly, or know any (AL) withdrawl sucks, or you are simply a good egg...I appreciate the support and concern.
                Nothing to report aside from the usual.
                Symptoms still present but I honestly think they may be lessening at times..stress...or loud chaotic stuff going on seems to bring on the weird ear/head stuff hard and fast, and all other shit follows...emotionally still all over the board....but I am seeing it for what it is...and as Miss Fresh has pointed out, it is HELL, but it IS finite. I am clinging to that with the small amount of sanity I think I have left :H
                Though I stand by my rants...I will never ever ever do this med again....EVER.

                Love you all, and know that even if I am slow to post (some times, typing seems over whelming) I am SO grateful for each one!

                XOXO,
                K

                Ps to self: DO NOT watch save the world/animal/homeless/hurting anything/one/ shows while withdrawing from Effexor...I think I sobbed out like...2 Gallons of tears...what a waste of water!
                (sorry...please don't be offended if that seems crass...I do know the plight of many places/creatures, and support them with $$ and any other way...just my damn retarded minds sense of humour...black humour I think it is called....wooopeeeeee)

                  good grief...bank just phoned with a "foreclosure threat"...ya know...I know God doesn't put more on our plate than we can eat, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but this is NOT good timing....fuck me, it just never ends.

                      Holy Shit I don't know what to say...really.. I am gob-smacked...stay strong and whine all you want... we will all read and support, this is such bad timing...is there any flexibilty...with so many people having trouble with the sub-prime loan mess, banks are beginning to get creative...When you feel energentic...;-) maybe google what the banks in the US are doing, you might find all sorts of ideas and schemes that you could take to your bank...and don't let the branch manager shut you down...go over their heads and let them know you will do that, they don't want that so they may be more willing to deal.....I am not a financial person but worth looking into.

                      Take care

                          Keeta, I am sorry you are going through withdrawals. I've not taken Effexor, but other stuff just as addicting, and you must taper off very, very slowly. I'm working up to tapering off Depakote and anticipate a month or two to do it. Some drugs can be so helpful, and others so horrible. (The cure is worse than the disease.) Hang in and go slowly as advised by your doc. I'm sure many of us can relate to your suffering.

                            Keeta - haven't seen you post on this thread in awhile - just checking to see how it is going for you. Did you get back on Ex or are you still detoxing from it? Hoping you are doing ok
