15. And then those drugs stop

Working so well. You up the dosage if you can, or spend weeks trying to wean yourself off them and try something else. Some of us hate docs suo we hurry on with they've initially given us, I've been on venlafaxine, aka Effexor at the highest dose and was told it would years safely come off it. So doc added second med to kick the Effexor into gear. Now once again I find they're not acting the way they should. Ten years to tritite off this drug get system cleaned out and ready to try something new. To do otherwise is tick probable suicide. Thats not a good meet with me, I can almost talk myself it now. week

They scream about us taking pain meds... Coming off those SSRIs is he k of a lot harder and screws with your he'd than any of our pot,,,grrrr
