Day 14

I've been on my withdrawal program for two weeks now, and while the prozac has stopped the "sensory disturbances" (a.k.a. brain shocks) for which effexor is so infamous, I am really getting sick of the nausea and dizziness. I can function normally, but all I want to do is lie down and rest my eyes. But for having gone down 50% or 150 mg in one week is pretty good.

My biggest concern right now is that I've been getting short bursts of intense depression every day now. Is this from the new drugs, or the withdrawal or did I still need those pills? Either way I'm not going back on effexor, the half life is just too short to be a practical med.

And for those who may be curious, here's a semi-complete list of the other pills I've enjoyed over the last seven years. Most of them were taken in combination with others. I guess I'm just proof that no matter what we do, man can never conquer nature ;-).

• Celexa
• Wellbutrin
• Effexor
• Seroquel
• Risperidal
• Buspar
• Clonazepam
• Bromazepam
• Lithium
• Prozac
• Zyprexa
• Xanax (Recreationally)
