Different people can have different responses to withdrawing and sometimes the effects are an indicator of something else.

I have to return to work tomorrow here in Australia but will try the paracatmal today. I am changing over to another drug as I write this only on low doses. this is horrible I want to cry from feeling so lousy. But am going to pull myself together for tomorrow.

I've been on Efexor for 15 months now. Before this time I was on it for about 2 years but then weaned myself off because we wanted to have another baby. I get those headspins too if I forget to take it first thing in the morning. I actually had to get the higher dose because I felt as though they weren't working. I have to go back at the end of the week to get another script. Are you weaning yourself off them or are you going cold-turkey? Either way, I hope you're feeling better :) I was just browsing through your blog and came across this post. I’ve been on Efexor for 15 months now.

LOL about the chocolate. Perhaps you'd better eat some for me then. Seems that's the solution. :) Or perhaps that should be "drink some for me". ;) Kelley - oh the sacrifice you have to put up with for the sake of our friendship. Judging by how tight my jeans are feeling, you've done me a real service there babe!!! :) Marita - thanks. Hopefully others like the idea too. Take care of yourself. It's a good idea not to overcommit right now. River - you can keep the cappucino fudge. Not a fan of anything remotely coffee tasting (even though I would like to be). Appreciate the thought though. :) Lynette - great quote! Thanks. Lis - thanks. Think virtual chocolate is the safest right now!!!! :) Tiff - mmmm....Lindt balls. Lucky it's my birthday soon (ish). Wonder if anyone will give me Lindt balls????? Everyone - thanks for your ongoing support. So far today is a little better than yesterday and hopefully tomorrow will be a little better again. :) Kirsten - thanks. LOL about the chocolate. Perhaps you’d better eat some for me then.
