Hmmh maybe the fugue states I was dropping into from the pain was a blessing then. week seven after having to drop off sudden cold turkey because of the internal bleeding. Still having side effects Just not as Horrific continuous now. I am getting some time of no pain and just the fogginess real bad and function is still very low. I hope I am coming out the other side now. Heart issues still going on. Still weak but I have to go to the board meetings I have been missing because I have been so ill. I just hope I can make it back home. 140 mile trip to get there . No safety net either . But I have to get this done . cant afford not to. But at least I dont have any major decisions to make. But the marathon meeting of 3 hours plus the drive time will probably wipe me out. It will be the first time they have seen me unable to walk though. I have a hate love relationship with my wheelchair LOL!!
-----------------------------------------> Well, that went well (NOT)! I'm back on Effexor XR after 4 days off! The withdrawal was too awful, so we're going to keep me at 75 mg for a month, then cut down by 15mg for a month, and then another 15, and then 7 and 7.

> As it was, Sunday am (5 days ago) was supposed to be my last dose, but by Fri I couldn't stand the nausea, crying, nightmares and sweating any more.
