Hi all. Thanks for responding to my message about going off of Effexor XR. After reading the 4 responses, I'm considering staying on it. After all, I think it may be best. It's a funny thing, but I can't remember how "out of whack" I was before taking the medication. I have since however, stopped drinking altogether, taken up exercising, and am currently in very healthy relationships which is more than i can say for before I was on the meds. It has seemed to turn my whole life around - either that, or it was phsychosymatic??
Is it possible that I have been at all cured from taking the medication or is it going to be a lifelong thing? Thanks Bill - I believe you about the chemical imbalance within a family of depression, I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with it "changing the chemicals" and then moving on without meds? I guess I'm just wishing hopefully. It sure would save on $ for meds and maybe I'd get some of my sex "sensation" back (I heard Viagra helps).
