> AWESOME Marlene! I feel alot better without it too. I think drs are too ready to prescribe harmful chemicals before trying the more natural ways to cure someone's problems or at least make them manageable.
Launi and everyone,
As Monday gets closer I am VERY glad for all of your postings! They give me courage to REALLY stick at the taper off the EFFEXOR XR.
The last straw came when I saw my family doc yesterday and got weighed. I could not believe it! I have gained a total of sixty pounds in about three years. I walk two to three miles a day three or four days a week and I eat like a mouse! This is insane -- !
I guess my other question to all of you is what other meds are you on? I am on Topamax 300 daily and Seroquel 400mgm daily. Also how about age? Those of you who have lost weight when stopping Effexor -- young? 20 - 30? middle aged 40ish? I am pushing 60 and used to be a runner and swimmer -- would give a lot to do that again!!
Please cheer me on folks. And yes Marlene
thats terrific! Maria Warren
