hi guys...
i've been taking the e-drug for...uh... about 3 and a half years now....

i did get favorable results.  was diagnosed with "acute clinical depression due to life circumstances"  (something like that) and the meds helped bring me back from the absolute inability to smile, laugh, react to people with any amount of positive expression (also known as laughing or smiling...)  ....but, really, i couldn't bring myself out of the deep despair.  after about 3 weeks of taking effexor i was markedly better.  i weaned myself off of it (extremely important to "wean" not just "stop) after a year but had to get back on it after my 12 year old son went to live 500 miles away with his dad.  now, i am once again weaning off of the drug.  i am down to a 37.5 dose.  so far i'm not depressed again....although i have felt some anger for a change...not really a bad thing. 

i'll see how this goes...
