Doc finally added something to help its effectiveness, ariziprazol, but I'm not seeing much difference. What gets me is all this crap we take for our pain meds, but it would take over ten years of titering to successfully get off the Effexor. No one tells you that, and no makes a big deal out of it. But I consider it a big deal, especially after trying to switch to another in kind drug. I was nearly suicidal before I said anything and got back on the Effexor.

I think we've got some weird priorities for people. I'm sill not feeling right today... but I'm back in bed, sitting with pillows behind me where its more comfy. Don't think I'll sleep tonight and then try to catch up on stuff tomorrow.
