Allen,
What you typed about your sleeping problems...well, it was like you took the words right out of my mouth.
My Shrink has known about it for sometime and (this is the ONLY issue her and I have ever differed on)she wants me to go to one of those 'sleep studies'. I say NO WAY to that, as my insurance won't cover it and because I know what is the problem for my constant wakings during the night....My problem is that I have been on A.D.'s for years now, and I mean years; they are the cause here.
I too am going to start to wean off of the Effexor XR (hope I don't have the problem going off of the Effexor like others have!), the Wellbutrin. I also suffer from just awful panic attacks, so I am going to keep on the Klonipin...and for my occassional 'psychotic episode' due to my Borderline Pers. Disorder I will keep the Zyprexa on hand!
Please, PLEASE wish me luck. This is something that I really want to do, I might need some help from the board here if the going gets tough. You guys are great, I know I can count on you all if need be.
P.L.
> Sleeping ... I have been on AD for so long I have forgotten what it would be like to be able to sleep "norally." What I wouldn't give to be able to come home at night and go to bed, then wake up in the morning refreshed instead of tired as I do. I don't sleep though the night like I want too. I want up several times. Yes, I have been taking something to sleep but I still wake up, its frustrating.

I am tired of the tension that I have been feeling. I know that getting of the AD is the right thing to do. I wish I had a better support system to do so.

> I am trying to look at the bright side of things, like today, Easter, and all that it means. Happy Easter.
