These next 96 hours are going to be fucking horrible. I decided to get off my anti-depressant (Effexor) once and for all. My doctor prescribed 10 mg of Prozac to take in its place, and then after 2-4 weeks, to get off that, and voila! no more anti-depressants.
If only it were that simple. When I got off Geodon. We replaced it with Invega and there was hardly an uncomfortable sensation at all.
However....I've tried this before. I substituted Wellbutrin for Effexor and stopped taking it. The nausea, headaches, and sleeplessness were unbearable, and that was only after 1 1/2 days.
Granted, maybe a lot of it was because I was on a higher dose. I hope so. Maybe it will be different this time. I am just bracing myself for a fucking miserable experience...
