Hello Everybody!
I've been fighting demon this for years, but I've been on Venlafaxine XR for the last 18 months. So far, its the only thing that has helped. I've tried others, but I could never get through the intitial adjustment period. I suppose this med was the same, but I was just so desperate, I fought through it.
I can't afford to pay for therapy and when my Dr. told me (a year and a half ago) that it would take at least 10 months to get in to see someone through OHIP...I just told her to forget it. Silly me. Little did I realize that had I gone with that plan, I'd be seeing someone regularly now. Doh!
I do feel much, much...MUCH better than before....when I couldn't get of the couch to do pretty much anything...including showering...yeah, gross...but I'm thinking most of you get it. I know that this has a lot more to do with my past than I'd care to admit, but thats why I'm here...I'm going to go through the program and I know that with your help I can get healthy again!
I'll look forward to getting to know you over the next few weeks.
My prayers are with you all.
