yetrio Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I like this website...I wish I found it about 3 years ago... I hope it will help me keep hope alive... The tapering option is over for me and effexor...it has been about 3 years now...the first two were..... (well you know). Anyway, I am doing a bit better, far from recovery, but very grateful that the worst appears to be behind me. Anyway, just wanted to say hello, it feels good to be here. Cheers! Link to comment
Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted February 21, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi yetrio and welcome to SA, We ask all members to create a drug signature. This appears below every post you make. This is the preferred format which makes it easier for us to see your drug history at a glance: A request: Would you summarize your history in a signature - ALL drugs, doses, dates, and discontinuations & reinstatements, in the last 12-24 months particularly? Please leave out symptoms and diagnoses. A list is easier to understand than one or multiple paragraphs. Any drugs prior to 24 months ago can just be listed with start and stop years. Please use actual dates or approximate dates (mid-June, Late October) rather than relative time frames (last week, 3 months ago) Spell out months, e.g. "October" or "Oct."; 9/1/2016 can be interpreted as Jan. 9, 2016 or Sept. 1, 2016. Link to Account Settings – Create or Edit a signature. Are you off all drugs completely now? What symptoms are you currently experiencing? We would be interested in hearing your experience of getting off Effexor. There are many existing topics and discussions on this site. You can use the site search function at the top right (from the main site page), or use a search engine and include survivingantidepressants.org in your search string. This is your own Intro topic where you can ask questions and journal your progress. We suggest that members visit each others Intro topics so they can support and encourage each other. * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment
