Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

Checking in...I feel great today. Still no CBD oil. I will go get it myself if I have to but it is a 60 mile trip.
I made sure I ate well yesterday. To make up for no CBD I used 3 whole edibles. So that is 5 whole edibles in 2 days. Wow, that CBD really did something for me. I had been cutting the edibles in 8 pieces and using 2 pieces for the day and my CBD. Until I decided to cut one piece of edible while cutting back on the CBD cuz I was running out. Totally threw me back into withdrawal. I remember that pounding headache and dripping tears from the bad days of the withdrawal.
Remember, I used Effexor for 26 years. That will take a lot of brain rewiring for my brain to function well. Hmmm I will study that today.
Not quite sure how to guide my day today. No CBD at present. Going to find where it is or go get it myself. I will never run out again, that's for sure. Smiling, happy, oriented. Much better day than the last two days. Bright Wings

Ok checking in again. I asked the maintenance man to check my car. I noticed instantaneously that there was no coolant in it. Who does an oil change and puts my car on the computer and doesn't notice that???? Car is driving much better but check engine light is still flashing. I will take it to a different shop for a computer check tomorrow. 1st problem almost solved...I hope.
Ok second challenge...CBD. I went to my favorite head shop and explained what happened. They fixed me right up after some discussion. So now I have Lazarus Naturals, CBD coconut oil. 1,200 mg in the jar, cost for me...$45. It seems I have been sending much business their way so they give me a 5 dollar discount. I am to use 1 tsp a day. My dog gets 2 drops. This will save me money. Yes, fist pump!
I also took my computer to the computer shop to learn how to connect the hot spot. Easy, click this button and turn on my hotspot on my phone. Done. I absolutely hate asking for help and no one responds.
Oh, it feels better to be able to function. The last 2 days were h ell. And that is 4 months and a week after my last pill.
I still have the wrong day in my head. I keep thinking it is Friday now, but its only Thursday. I have already been told by my Neuro doc years ago I will not get Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. I have no changes in my many MRI's. So my not knowing what day it is all related to this withdrawal.
Phew, I thought I missed my favorite daughters birthday. I apologized and everything. I got it right, phew!
Ok out of here. Time for CBD and a tiny piece of edible. Yes, back on MY schedule. Happy about that.
Sacred ceremony is Saturday night. I can't wait. My goal for the sacred plant medicine will be to help rewire my brain. God lead me there and the Sacred Plant medicine has helped me erase all the left over effects of my extreme abuse. Getting of this drug is the last step. YIPPEE SKIPPEE, flying again...Bright Wings, Smiling So Big
