Your post reminded me of Joy on that show last night... she's on "happy pills" and is totally in la-la land (I'm sure you're not that extreme, but that is just fresh on my mind)!

I felt so much better on it - I was getting so overwhelmed, and the meds really calmed me. They also made me not give a shit about stuff as well! What it did do was stop my ability to have orgasms - yes world, I just said that! THAT was frustrating! I ended up getting a mother's helper, and I felt better, so my Doc and I decided to get off of it. HARD. VERY HARD to get off of it. It needs to be a very slow process, and boy, it took me a few months to get "right" again. And now, with my mother's helper having to move, I find myself looking for another person to help me here. Can I borrow a few of your happy pills? Glad to hear that they work for you! Just be sure to keep on talking with the doc. And keep on venting here - i find that blogging has been another source of some much needed therapy! Take good care! I was on effexor last year, for maybe 6 months.

The Big Guy said, "he will love me long time tonight", haha, and see whats up in that department. i haven't wanted anything to do with that since i started the med. i guess one trade off for another. it is what it is! ;) @everyone- thanks for being supportive of all this med talk. it is easier to talk about it on here. some of my friends here don’t get the whole mental health thing. like i said before, they shit rainbows, and as you can all see that doesn’t happen with me. :)
