Ok guys.... I have been reading your posts and sometimes writing my own for a couple months now and they are really helping me. The only problem is that I have been completely off of Effexor for six weeks now and am still feeling depressed and anxious all day long. For the two years I was on it, I was fine....better than I ever had been in my whole life. Now, I am constantly feeling sad, worthless, anxious, and in a daze the whole day long. Do you think that it is the medicine doing this to me? I think it has to be because I was doing sooooo well on the medicine. I am trying to convince myself that it takes time for my body and brain chemicals to adjust after being on Effexor so long. Also, I have just started a new birth control pill about a week ago and have been reading your postings on birth control. Desogen (Orthocept) is the name of it. Has anyone had any experiences with it and could this be contributing to my crappy feelings. I am nervous and depressed about starting the day even.....Please help~
Thanks,
Linda
