wow! just googled effexor..........jeeeeeeeeeeeeez thats pretty gnarly man, doesnt sound like much fun to come off either. how are you if you miss a dose? It sounds like its hard to tell whether that stuff is part of the problem or part of the solution...I dont know how doctors can prescribe drugs like these so often..I sometimes wonder what treatments of psychiatric conditions there would be if the war on drugs didnt stifle the study of entheogens for so long and if the big pharma companies drowned in a vat of aids or something similar. i hope you find  your solution because lifes too short to not be enjoying it to its fullest..

my mate swim prescribes himself a 'heroic' dose in a dark room with some nice tunes at least once every three months
