Effexor sucks, (apology included?)

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, another word for mind **** in a capsule. I started Effexor about a year and half ago during a hard period of my life when I became increasingly anxious and depressed, I kept with it and was pretty much ok, that is, unless I missed a dose; that was another story all together.

But it all hails in comparison to doing what I did, I quit.. too quickly apparently too. I never have a second in which I am not twitching inside my head, feeling nautious, or having Night Terror in which I just experienced trying to take a small nap after getting 2 hrs of sleep last night. Sleep is non existent, I havent had REM sleep since the beginning of the school year and it's becomming apparent to my teachers.

Although my grades are fine it's due to persistent study patterns because I have very little if any physical representation in class, my mind is either anxious or absent all together thinking about god knows what or twitching around. Back onto the topic of dreams again I never experience REM anymore it's just auditory hallucinatory effects before i'm even 1/2 asleep. Meaning im terrified im becoming some kind-of sctizo. I am already an anxious person but paranoia is a symptom of quitting this shit. My spariodic angry behavior can be partially explained by this thread hopefully. I would like to apologize to Chris and Icarus. On a side note im anxious as hell and dont think i'm keeping this tea down so well :angry: , ahh yes I know excuses excuses babyheadcrab, that's all I am.. and sypathy threads.. but who elese would be the whiny little bitch of the forum if it werent for your lovely sh4mp00. Top this off with a sister going to college who requires my parents attention non-stop and a bitch brother who begs for my precious x-box every 2 seconds. I'm getting sick of it all, so very sick :| suicide although has never crossed my mind as something reasonable for me to do.. seems pointless so dont think this is one of those famous suicide threads. (even if you wanted it to be :p) sorry disturbed, it's not.

update: I just spilled hot tea all over my paranoid bitch lap.

Ouch.

No suicide for you. :|
 
well, that's why we're here.... to ease your mind.... or something like that...........


yeah.
 
Feel free to bitch if you want. I found that bitching about my problems to some one seemed to help my depression.
 
friend of mine works for a drug testing company and wrote a long rant on her blog about SSRI's and doctors prescribing them for kids even though they're not officially FDA (or the canadian equivelant, whatever that is) approved for kids. basically i think they're a bad idea for anyone, not just kids.

They are not bad idea for anyone. They are not for everyone by any means, but they do help many people all the time. I know, I've had personal experiences with them.

100% agreed, and my dad prescribes them daily. :| Neutrino i'm sure he knows it helps so many people but the FDA dosent take anwhere NEAR the amount of precaution necisary to prevent ssri related teenage suicide and side-effects. The fact is the things are thrown out like candy in the United States and it's terrible for our nations youth ( I can personally testify ) my dad is a bit niave in this topic although an extremely smart man, much more so then I am, he has no personal experience with these types of drugs (as a youth that is).

Why did you stop taking your medicine?

I'm not depressed, and they did more bad then good. I also quit faster then I would have liked but it's too late now.
