cicciopsych-Thanks for the message. I really appreciate your support. Did you ever wean yourself down to 37.5 mg? I was on that for a long time and was able to function fine. I feel much better later on in the day. The mornings are worse with the nausea. I worked out at the gym today and felt so much better afterwards - natural hormones being released! I feel like I am about a second behind when looking at things and them registering. I also have been been short-tempered and unable to focus on anything any period of time. Do you relate? I don't want to try the Prozac thing - I hate taking medications! I do feel relieved that I am no longer attached to Effexor. It did it's purpose now it is time to move on. I realized something earlier today. I have been searching for answers all day in the internet, in books, journals, the PDR, etc trying to figure out what I can do to make the symptoms go away. Then it hit me. I never asked God to take them away. He has been right here all this time just waiting for me to ask Him. I hope you will ask Him and I hope everyone who reads this post asks for His guidance. It is so much better than what the medical society can give us. Anyways, it was great to talk with you about what is going on. I appreciate your honesty and hope all will get better for you. By the way, I too have only been married for 4 months! You will be in my prayers.
