Where did the magic go? maybe I'm just whining.

I have been on Effexor since March 16th of this year,

starting out on 75mg and now at 112.5mg for approximately a month.

this was like a magic pill, I was suffering from crippling anxiety for most of my life, and once I started taking Effexor I described it as " my brain being on vacation"

I could think clearly, I had virtually no anxiety, like none.

it was almost euphoric, how calm I was, at times I would even say happy, which was a nice change from the dull hum of depression.

until about 5 days ago, I lived this way and it was fantastic, but now that dark cloud has rolled back in, and my anxiety is returning..

it is much more manageable, which I am thankful for.. but it's almost worse to know how good I could feel...

is this just a slump? will it pass? do I need to adjust my medication again?

I don't know, I guess I'm just asking if anyone else has experienced this.

trying to keep my eyes on the horizon and hope this will pass... but crawling into a bed in a dark room sounds pretty appealing right now.

​

thanks, friends, stay rad.
