Yep, and the greatest thing about GAD is that no one (except medical professionals and people who have experienced it) understand how real it is. "Get over it", 'You'll be fine" HA!!
I tried to go off the effexor - I actually went cold turkey and had almost no side effects - which was super strange 'cause I had missed pills etc in the past and felt TERRIBLE...but anyways, I just started back on yesterday after over a month free because I was worrying about anything and everything again, the most irrational things...in fact, I would find myself lying in bed thinking up things to worry about. It was stupid and I knew it but I couldnt stop it. I decided that I could not live like that anymore and I went back on. I don't care how long I am on it at this point, because I can't - won't - go back to feeling the other way again.
I hate GAD!! Does it ever 'go away'?
