Dear C*****, I suspected you might be struggling this last bit, and I've been thinking of you. I hope you won't mind if I share a bit here. I know you don't appreciate being told what to do, and I'm really not trying to do that. I just feel a n...

Dose Downage

nobody@vox.com(K) — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 16:03:48 -0500

The past week I've taken a small step down in Effexor dose. From 150 to 112.5 (75 + 37.5). Not sure how long I'll wait to go down to 75mg, which is the only dose I can go down to (no other pill size). I haven't noticed any major changes, and r...

I've been thinking a lot...

I've been thinking a lot lately. I've come to the conclusion that it's time to make some solid moves towards bettering myself. I think I've been an inactive participant in my own life for far too long. I have to meet this depression head on an...

Ok... things are looking a little brighter. Other than feeling like I'm on a rollercoaster, I think I've got a handle on things. I so hate it when the dark clouds roll in like that. I do think it's time to look for a replacement for this inEff...

Second Thoughts

nobody@vox.com(K) — Thu, 17 May 2007 22:57:44 -0500

As the title suggests, I'm having second thoughts. I'm thinking twice about going off the effexor. The reason? My mood and level of functioning lately has been on a downward slide without being on a decreased dose, and I think I have to be rea...

Re: goals 1 & 2....weaning off Effexor and....Dad

nobody@vox.com(K) — Mon, 14 May 2007 12:07:21 -0500

I am so nervous about this it's insane. I haven't started reducing my dose yet, but my stomach is in knots just thinking about it. I have to somehow turn my attitude around or it just might be my downfall. I have to keep in mind all the things...

Goal #1...my life with Effexor

nobody@vox.com(K) — Thu, 10 May 2007 08:20:38 -0500

Goal #1: 1.Decrease my dose of Effexor to the point of hopefully being off it by the end of the summer. This is a pretty major goal. It sounds easy on paper (or monitor), but if I pull this off successfully, it will be a major feat. I spok...

Goals

nobody@vox.com(K) — Tue, 08 May 2007 15:52:49 -0500

One of my fears of blogging is that I'll come across as someone looking for attention, or sympathy... or that I'm whining...that is so distasteful to me. How to avoid that, yet say what I need to say?? Good question. I think I'll basically hav...
