I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
I've recently come off effexor as my doc thought it wasnt working for me anymore too. I've gone on to a tricyclic (something like that) anti-depressant called nortriptylene (i think the spelling is pretty close).
At first I was really scared about coming off effexor because of all the horror stories there are on the internet. Fortunately for me it was a very painless process. I was really dizzy for a few days and nauseous for one to two days, but it generally wasnt bad enough to stop me going to work or getting on with life, except for the nausea - that was bad at nighttime.
Anyway its almost a month now that I am off effexor and all is going pretty well.
I hope you have an easy time coming off it too. I came off it over a few days before starting on my new ones.
Best wishes and hugs your way ;)
I wish you the best... keep me posted.
