Hi Josh:
Yes, yes, yes...I've felt the same as you when you just want to "excuse-yourself" from the world and stay in the house, stay in your room or stay in bed til the cows came home (and you really didn't want them to come home). I've been there and done that and then you realize you can't do this all your life. Get treatment ASAP and continue your meds. I too, like SadPanda, am on Effexor and feel better than I have in years. If you need more pep talk, continue on this website....we will get you through...don't give up... "I GOT YOUR BACK"!!
