Hi in the midst of another not so good day. The

scratchy throat and weakness is really bad today. I

was reading up on someone who was either taking or

discontinuing the drugs and were talking about how

their bones felt like they had tuning forks running

down them. I feel exactly like that. I'm doing my best

to not worry much but it's hard especially being I got

alot of other stressful situations I'm dealing with

right now that makes it hard. My back pain hasn't been

as bad and my neck isn't as weak today. My tongue

feels ok. My face doesn't feel too bad today. Just my

limbs are really bad. The twitching is mainly in my

legs now. I get it other places but not like before. I

also get a weird feeling in some places that it's

vibrating or falling asleep. Anyone have feelings like

that? My limbs especially fall asleep easy when

sleeping. I really wonder if my weakness in my legs

and arms is due to so much bed rest but man that's all

I want to do. Still a bit depressed that everything is

how it is right now and have certain situations

popping up in my life I could have bounced on before

but now I can't. I actually wait before I get out of

my chair or bed ro wherever and plan the shortest way

to get to where I need to b/c of my depleted strength.

I've seen symptoms come and go especially the

twitching and certain other things that let up every

now and then. Will this weakness follow suit with the

rest of the symptoms and let up? Or did I screw myself

over cause the cold turkey? What's the big problem of

coming off like that? I still struggle thinking I got

something else wrong with me. But it's hard not to

when you feel like this. I guess I gotta keep waiting

this thing out and see how the acupuncture works when

I get in. I need to get an actual dr's reccomendation

to go there. Is that a crock of bull or what? That's

Ohio law. The belledonna 30c helps a little with the

throat but wears off fast and I've tried putting it in

the water and same. It also seems like I try something

for awhile and it helps with the symptoms but then

starts to become ineffective. Do I need to up the

dosage's or what? I also was wondering if the people

on this board that were on effexor could let me know

how long their recovery was. Also wondering if someone

could tell me just how weak they were and for how

long. Me, like I said I'm so weak I gotta plot the

shortest routes to my next destinations and my legs

shake and feel like they will buckle if I stand for

longer than 5 minutes. I know exactly what someone

meant when saying that it feels like you haven't eaten

in years or something. Hmmmm......I just thought I'd

mention this. It's been this way since I can remember.

If I skipped a meal or went too long in a day without

eating I'd shake.....like really bad......once I ate

it went right away. Could this indicate something with

my blood sugar level? Just wondering. I hear alot of

talk about people saying like you get more and more

good days and they last longer and longer but man it's

like I get an okay day every once in awhile and that's

all. Ummm well I don't really don't know what else to

say. Later.

Nate
