Hi Michelle,
I have just been through the same thoughts, todays my 9th day on Effexor and the first few days were really hard, my mind was extermly racy, I couldn't sleep at all for 2 days, I was dosing up on Xanax to help me deal with it but I must say that after the inital first few days I am getting heaps better and I am feeling much better about myself and the world, I am starting to remember happy times of the past instead of focusing on memories that we're not too plesant.
The 5th and 6th day on Effexor I felt really speedy, I couldn't keep still, I frantically cleaned my entire unit and then my brothers entire unit and they we're totally both messy. My boyfriend teased me and said that he hoped I would stay racy so I would clean all the time. :)
But today I don't feel so racy anymore, I am much more calm and am able to really get into some hard core expossure exercies as I do feel abit anxious still, however much less than what I was feeling 2 weeks ago.
I'd like to know how your doing on Effexor?
Angela :)
