Well, I have no aversion to THC but unfortunately it isn't legal where I'm at and I actually work in a toxicology lab where it is definitely frowned up and would get me fired if I tested positive on the random drug screens we have to take.

It will be 2 weeks Sunday when I took my last dose and the last 2 weeks have been really rough with the stupid crying and emotional ups and downs. I told a friend that i have felt like I am on a roller coaster that never ends BUT after realizing that it is the Effexor withdrawal symptoms that have been making me like this it has helped and I feel like I am just about off the ride (so to speak). Haven't had a crying episode in 2 days so I feel like I'm going to be okay.

This Saturday will be the true test because I am having a baby shower for my daughter and have been really emotional because the baby's fathers mother has been trying to take over my mother position and kind of been excluding me from stuff and pushing me out, so to speak and I was very emotional about it until about 2 days ago when my mind just seemed to return to me and now I am feeling more like my old self who doesn't let anyone push them out of their children's lives so if I can make it through Saturday without crying, getting emotional, or cursing someone out then I think I will be on the other side of this Effexor HELL!

Thanks all for listening to me and for any and all advice or/and tips. I appreciate it more than I can say and just being able to read about what other people are going through and what has helped them has been a godsend to me.

Thanks all,
