That sounhds great!!! I'm heavily pushing the "Effexor CAN be great if you're gentle with it" and people do seem to be listening and we do seem to be hearing much more positive stuff about it!!!
I cried today!!!! Woo hoo!! I know it sounds silly but I ahven't been able to cry in so long... only lasted about a minute before shutting itself off again.. but I guess its a step forward again!!!
Been trashed by UK's crap healthcare yet again though so feeling fed up and low again today. (And when I said this to my boss, he said everyone feels low.. we need a new level of definition here... our lows are not a normal low!!!)

> I felt xtremely well for 3 days,more than well or is this how normal balanced people feel.Now level still can't laugh or cry but not tired I missed insomnia.Never made it to 2 weeks and already having slight cravings for the booze short attention ,wake up at the slightest sound and my libido,well,it's good weather for cold showers.
> Read you got diagnosed with personality disorder,I've been told I have one with mood disorder but which one I have'nt a clue was too ill at the time to take in what was being said.
> I did all the personality tests on some mental health site and resulted in having 4 and 2 possible I'm either one crazy nutter or the tests were crap, cheered me up at the absurdity of having so many disorders.
