> I haven't gone to my psych. for months. I was only in a depression due to life changes when my Internist sent me to him in July of 2000. He released me from treatment in Dec. 2000. Told me to stay on Effexor until our next med refill appt. in March 2001. Saw my Internist in Feb. and told him I didn't need to take Effexor any longer as my life had calmed down. He instructed me to wean off the drug. ( I did, and look where I am now). Effexor just made me emotionally dead. I wasn't happy or sad, just drifted through life.
Visited my Internist today as I am still so sick. I not only have physical symptoms, but I feel like I'm going to burst out in tears all the time. My mind is fuzzy and I'm barely functioning. I never have felt this way in my life. I'm normally a pretty up person. The Internist put me on 20mg. of Prozac. He says he never perscribes Effexor. He says my brain is just not taking over where the Effexor left off???
He says the Prozac should normalize me in about seven to ten days. I hope so. I feel like I'm dying. Thank you so much for your support.
