Husband went through another phase of freaking out mentally and emotionally. That always happens when he doesn't get his blood pressure medicine and Paxil refilled. He was angry and abusive, telling me what a low-life I am and that I needed to list some reasons why he should love me, because he couldn't think of any. Instead of reacting in tears or anger, I kept my cool. Told him that if he doesn't love me, then there's nothing left worth fighting for. I'll just leave and get on with my life. In less than 24 hrs he changed his tune.
Point being, before I would be devastated. I would panic. I would be afraid of him and his anger. Effexor has given me the ability to gain my self-confidence back and my self-respect. Yes, I know it has annoying, and sometimes terrible, side effects. But for me, it was worth it, just seeing the baffled look on his face when I didn't play his game.
This is my small miracle. And a very welcome one.
