> >this is definitely a scarey thing. so far, i've noiticed that i'm not AS exhausted as i was on the full dose effexor. feel more clear mentally, more motivated, more on top of things.... is this just in my mind?<<
Nope - the effexor clouded me up so much that my marriage was nearly destroyed. I was "gone" most of the time. It was horrible!!! Clearing up and feeling better means that garbage is getting out of your brain and allowing you to think again.
> >i'm lucky to have a group of pharms supporting me. i'm nervous about seeing psy today as she honestly doesn't believe i'll be able to come off drugs. she says its too far progessed, the damage has been done and is irreversible. but that goes against everything i read in new research that is not funded by drug companies.<<
Yep - I'm not a professional, but I'd wager that the "studies" are done so that the income can keep flowing in. Until there are credible studies done by independent labs, the truth will not be widely known. I'm anti-depressent free, and fine. Remember, though, everyone is different.
Take care of yourself and hang in there. It's a rough road, but worth it.
