I was trying to be encouraging and to take into consideration that some people have a somewhat easier time than I did since it was frowned upon on this board that one should suffer so greatly when they stopped taking Effexor.

Okay, sorry for the misunderstanding.Especially when it comes to mental health, I'm just accustomed of others playing the 'misery Olympics', wherein they compare, minimise or outright dismiss the suffering of others.
That's why I reacted to your statement, "(I quit 150 cold turkey), and I haven't seen anyone have it worse than I did on this site..." in your original post http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20050108/msgs/440444.html the way that I did.
After rereading your posts, I sense that you're a genuinely caring and supportive person.
