i just did a two month stint on 150mg effexor. but i ran out and have been off for three days. its like getting in touch with my bad old self again . i'm dogging it at work right now, i've got this twitchy impatience that wants to bust out some violence and destruction, im writing down lyrics based on the newspaper... i wonder if i'll stay like this. hmm. what does the future hold?
Youll feel better in another week or two, thats just from being on those pills for so long, withdrawals.
I took effexor for a few years and I carefully weaned off it to go on a dofferent med and it was awful just weaning off of it. I remember the feeling you are feeling and it is horrible. Try to hang in there.
have you been on these before? whats your qualifications, weedman. (just curious). And define better. i feel quite good really - i feel like myself again. its just that myself happens to be a little nuts and destructive underneath a calm loserish exterior. the pills let me show up to work everyday under a boss that i have lost respect for. now that im off, i just dont wanna work here no more. but, to up and quit would fuck up my life for sure. so... go back to sleep and keep the job, or... stay awake and rely on my (always bad) snap decision making nature..
ahh YBH, you swapped to another med huh? id be interested to hear from somebody that didnt replace their meds when they went off. you've been on A.D. meds for years you say? any plans on kicking them for good?
I havnt taken them, but I know what a withdrawal feels like, I had the same feeling coming down from meth, and coke , when I used them. well probably not the same but I know that withdrawals are like that and it will wear off sometime.
