hoooooooooooly crap.

okay, so today after my morning writhing on the bathroom floor with toxic stomach cramps and uncontrollable vomiting, missing yet another day of work i've decided i've motherfucking had enough.

so i went to the pharmacy to fill my million and one other prescriptions and decided to take the plunge and get the effexor..

BUT, before you freak out...

i also went to the web of life (holistic hippy store) and got some empty gel caps. i'm going to fucking beat this shit with a motherfucker stick (not to be confused with a casual stick, heh)...

so we came home and i actually sat there and popped open the effexor cap (a'la psychogranny) and counted out granules and made a 5 week weaning off plan out of 3 150mg caplets. kinda pointless to fill the whole prescription but they wouldn't let me do a partial (so if anyone needs some 150mg effexor i got the hook up).

so right now i'm at 37.5mg a day for 8 days beginning today. then 18.75mg for 8 days, 9.375mg the next 8 day increment and so on and so on. the last caplets i made only had 7 granules in each caplet.

so i took the first one a few hours ago. the brain shocks have stopped, i'm still a little nauseous but i'm able to live.

so now that i've curbed the DS a bit i've come across a startling discovery...


BACK SURGERY FUCKING HURTS!!!!! i didn't even realize how sore i was until all the other shit stopped. i'd still rather have this that the fucking DS's that i had for the past three weeks.

but yeah, i guess having a light saber jammed into your spinal cord might make you a little sore, heh.

thanks to everyone that listened/read and cared the past most terrible weeks of my life. you all rule.

thank you thank you thank you!

Hopefully once your back heals up you'll feel much better.

I had the worst time getting off Effexor myself. yuck.
