Noolan so glad your feeling ok. I hope your symptoms don't return and you don't have to go through this anymore. I'm on effexor and have been in some kind of ssri since I was 23, soooo about 13 years now! Wow I'm hoping when I'm a year sober I may try to get off my meds. I've tried it in past and it was unsuccessful but I was always drinking, taking small zanex or something so I wonder how I'll feel when my brain is more functional? It would be cool to be of of meds as I hate some if the side effects.
