HAPPY BIRTHDAY BJ!!!

[BJ]

Aweeeeeee thank you all so much. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes but it's tears of happiness. I'm not having much of a birthday but it's my fault. I have to get my head back on straight again and do "something". My co-workers brought in cupcakes and I couldn't even eat them and ended up only working 3 hours. I came home and hid under the covers because I feel safe there.

I know I need help getting through this and I've relented. I have to find another pdoc because I'm not going back to the one I had. I'm nauseous and shakey and I know I'm going through withdraw from the Effexor. It's my fault though.

Thank you all again so much. It's really warmed my heart. I'm doing my best to make things right or at least get back on track.

:) Happy Birthday to you! :)

BJ, I've taken Effexor before and it does sound like you are experiencing withdrawl symptoms. I hope you can find a new doctor soon. It took me 3 tries to find a good fit for me with a psychiatrist and it really made a difference for me. I feel like he is definitely on my side and he is willing to listen to me when I have an appointment with him.

I hope you have done something you enjoy today. :)

take care ...

Thank you so much again and thanks for the delicious cookies Curious. They're in my refrig waiting for my stomach to settle down. :(

I'm looking for another pdoc today and hopefully I'll find one. I've been given some options by my primary and I'll call and see which one I'm going to try first. I need to find someone who will let me talk about what I want, whether it be my mom, being bipolar or the weather. That's all I'm asking for. I have a lot of feelings inside that have to come out and I just want somebody to listen to me. I try to hide things at work and it's eating inside me. I can't go in today and be all happy when inside I'm in such turmoil. If that makes sense. ;)

[~scrabble]

Yes, that does make sense to me.

I wish you luck in finding a good pdoc and 'good for you' for taking this step!

(((BJ))) ......... I hope your stomach settles so you can enjoy those yummy-looking treats from Curious! :)

Ohhhhhh BJ. I didn't know you had stopped an AD. Did you stop Effexor cold turkey? When I tried Effexor once, I was SO SICK when I went off that stuff. That was as bad when I went off Paxil. But with the Effexor, I got so sick physically. I hope you feel better soon.

[BJ]

Thanks everyone for the b'day wishes but I'm glad it's over. There's always so much expectations and poof it's gone. Even more so because I always did something special with my mom and this was the first one without her. :(

Yes Doody I did stop cold turkey and I'm regretting it now. I can't eat anything and I'm shaking like a drug addict. My boss took one look at me and said to go home and get some sleep but I can't. I've gone into a hole and I'm not liking myself right now and I'm afraid to be around people. I'm going to give this a few more hours and if I don't feel better I'm going to call my primary again and she if she can help me with this. I thought I could do it on my own but I can't.

And thanks Alffe for bumping up the other thread. I'll be fine. I just have to get things sorted out inside, if that's possible anymore.

BJ,

I hope you did call your primary doc again, and that she was able to help you. It just is not a good feeling and it can sometimes be reassuring to talk with a professional.

[Addy]

I echo what was said by both scrabble and Doody. I, too, can speak of this horrific experience which caused a very manic time in my life.

Effexor withdrawal is very difficult and especially so IF you are not under a doctors care. If you are not feeling well and can't reach your doctor - visit your local drop-in clinic or emergency ward. They are there to help you.

PLEASE go to google.com and search "effexor withdrawal" - the more information you can arm yourself with, the better you will understand your illness.

I wish you a belated happy birthday!
Give yourself the gift of knowledge.
Best wishes,
sincerely, Addy
