Hey guys,
I slapped together a new blog (weblog/journal) yesterday:
Brainzaps: A Journal of Effexor Withdrawal
http://brainzaps.tblog.comI've already tried unsuccessfully to post this twice, so this is now the short version!! I'm tapering off Effexor XR right now (now down to 150mg from 300mg/day). I looked around online for resources to help me get through it, but couldn't find much aside from what seemed like a lot of other withdrawal sufferers.
Anyway, I set up this blog in the hopes that by documenting my own experiences through this online journal, and allowing people to comment, exchange stories and experiences, we can help each other out and patch together some resources for those of us that experience negative effects from Effexor withdrawal. And maybe raise some awareness about the problem as well.
I'm not officially pro or anti-Effexor either way--it helped me tremendously at the beginning--but I think there definitely need to be more studies and research about its use.
Please check out the blog, if you want!! (I hope Dr. Bob doesn't mind I've posted this here--Brainzaps is not a commercial site!)
thanks,
denise
