"Today is day 15 without any Effexor. After 8 years I often found it hard to
believe that I would ever reach this point. I'm still having some ups and downs,
mostly anxiety-wise, but we've had a lot of family and friend related events (3
deaths in 2 weeks) and a rush to get my mother-in-law into assisted living. All
in all, I think I held up pretty well. A good friend of mine pointed out to me
today, that EVERYONE has ups and downs. It's amazing to think that I might be
reacting like a "normal person!
Sleeping, and especially falling asleep, is now a delight
instead of a dread and my brain feels like it has a lot more room in it."
