I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of reading in dreams…and how would that doctor/person know if you can’t? And if you’re only reading in your ‘mind’, is that really reading? or is that imagining/dreaming about letters and words…(I’m not medicated today; can you tell? ;o) Very fascinating. this makes me laugh- the ADD mind goes from effexor withdrawal to the possiblity of reading in dreams. Love it!
I’m glad you’re feeling better this morning. I can’t believe three out of four of you have taken effexor!
I also know quite a few women who have taken effexor and they also reported significant withdrawal effects. I’d still not change my experience with it, though. It saved me when I was drowning in a pit of despair, and keeps me from going too far down when the weight of dealing with ADHD and life in general gets to be too much (even with concerta). But those brain zaps are the absolute worst. I also got this weird chest heaviness with a kind-of carb craving I get that no amount of cookies can satisfy (I guess that’s the serotonin dropping).
Good luck with the rest of the tapering off and I would love to hear how things go with the ritalin.
:o)
