After a very disturbing visit to my now ex-pshychiatrist a few months ago, I decided to start weening myself off of my anti-depressants. I started taking them during a really tough part of my life and have recovered from that and found great happiness internally. And my now ex-pshychiatrist said he didn't know why I was taking them.
Well ladies and gentlemen, after a long and slow process, I am completely free of my anti-depressants!! Never to enter my body again (knock on wood). I feel more alive and more like myself. Of course, I'm a little more emotional, but that is just me. And to be quite honest, I like being emotional because it makes me feel alive. I felt numb on effexor.
Anyway, just wanted to share my good news!!

Thats wonderful! Could you toss some my way? hehe..and thanks for the comment on my blog. I appreciate it.
The weeks after I gave birth to Ani, I felt really miserably weepy. I went to see my midwife about it and was immediately given a scrip for Zoloft. I tried ONE Zoloft pill. And the whole day I felt like I was in a haze. I was half asleep missing out on everything, my skin felt numb, my taste buds were numb. I knew that the unexplained anguish I was feeling was way better than being numb. I looked at that bottle of blue pills many times after that, contemplating. But I didn't take anymore. It was a painful several months after that, but I got through. Phew.
Funny how your ex-doc was saying that. I thought that I got the prescription too easy as well. It's so easy to be sucked into thinking that you need drugs to get you through the tough times. I'm glad things are on the up and up for you. I'm very happy for you.
