Thanks for the reply Dr...Not! I recall your postings; your journey has been a long and difficult one. I have been encouraged by your determination and sharing. May He give you rest.
Within hours of taking 10mg Lex the brain zapping and body tingling lessened. I thought that was the worst part of the withdrawal despite the tears, sadness and anger. Then I admitted to myself how hopeless I felt. I was in full blown depression, and what a horrible place to be! Sometimes I forget. So I am thankful for the drugs - I guess Effexor did keep me from sinking for a time.
On 15mg of Lexapro now - I am now out of bed for longer periods of time, brushing my teeth, and even styled my hair yesterday. I shovelled some snow, but then that proved too much. Just the thought that I could - actually just NOTICING IT SNOWED - was such a relief. The physical symptoms have lessened immensely, but I know they are lurking just under the blanket of Lex -- I wonder for how long.
I am grateful to P-B and you all. God Bless.
