"i feel so much better reading all the feed back. i am in the pits of despair from my 2 month break from effexor. for 7 so years i have been on 75-150mg. my life was saved thanks to this medicine. tried everything. but after seeing some friends get pregnant and lose it due to stopping medicines, i thought i&#039;d ween myself off to see if i was &quot;cured&quot;. no luck, i feel like things were really good for a month or so, but now can hardly work and feel anti social. i need to get back on asap, although i never was really happy with the sexual numbness and sweating. it was good to give it a shot but i will need to be on effexor for life."
