Hey Jubilee,
Yesterday and today were my first truly good days. I think it's kind of over...except for a little bit of stomach stuff, nothing by comparison to what it was. I stopped 150mg. all at once after three years, and I would say that it has taken me a little over a month, but I'm pretty sure that it's gone for good. All of the head stuff is definitely over, that's for sure. I'm going to wait before I go to the optometrist because my vision has changed. (How strange, huh?) I'm completely calm...but I have been the whole time. In fact, my temperament has been better off of Effexor than on it. I was able to get up early today and go work out, and I had enough energy to get everything done all day long...a miracle since as early as last week I wasn't sure if I would live...and I meant it. The world is a much brighter place now.
I'm not sure that I would have wanted to go through this more slowly and for a longer period of time as it was the most painful thing that I have ever done. If you have fibro, (or anyone that reads this has fibro) the SAMe-400 and the complete program of Enzymatic Therapy From Fatigued to Fantastic, took about a week and a half to feel results but really, really, really made a tremendous difference in the way I feel.
I wanted to post this so that others would know that even if you feel as bad as is humanly possible today; by tomorrow or the day after, everything can change, and you can feel just about as good as new.
I'm not a religious woman, but the way that God heals the human body is truly a miracle.... My prayers are with you guys!!!
