I just wanted to let everyone here know that, although it is no picnic to get off of Effexor..It can be done. I've been off now for almost 2 months.
I went on this med. 2 years ago, after being diagnosed with melanoma at 150 mg. per day. I couldn't handle the fear of the cancer, and I was convinced that I was going to die right then and there..That was 2 years ago, and I'm still here. I'ma wife and a mommy to the best little boy on earth..and I try very hard to LIVE!
The fear is still with me, but I have accepted that it is, what it is...Effexor or no Effexor. That's not to say that the fight isn't a little harder without the med., because it is...but, I'm doing it.
I gained 15 lbs. on this med. too..I guess it must be common. I can't seem to lose it, but I haven't tried very hard either..
Anyway, my best to you all in this journey..It can be done!
Faith~
