I've been taking the anti-depressant Effexor (venlafaxine) for probably about five years now, probably a bit longer, and I've had enough. The side effects are not pleasant, and when it's not covered, it's too bloody expensive.
I talked to my doctor today, and I think it helped that he was new and had no idea of my history. But he also doesn't know much about getting off this crazy drug. So we decided on a withdrawal program that will hopefully ease my body from the physical addiction.
I should be noted that many have said that getting off this shit is worse than getting off cocaine.
