How is everyone here doing? I'm hanging in there, taking vistaril, 10 mg prozac, omega 3, I have a wave almost every day like clockwork between 11 and 3-4 pm. Grateful it's only those few hours, and doesn't interfere with my work. I've been able to return to almost a full schedule of teaching (for me that's 2 to 3 hours early am), which was something I was completely unable to do in June. Also I'm going to the gym 3 or 4 times a week with my neighbor and seeing a therapist. Although I spend lots of time trying to explain to the therapist that I've had and managed anxiety all my life, no thanks to effexor, and I'm needing support for the WITHDRAWAL. The techniques she has given me are helpful. It's just frustrating to have to educate these professionals, lol. I'm sure between all of us here we have boatloads of valuable information for them!!! Grateful today for recovery from this drug, my husband for his patience and my God.

@sandij I agree 100%!

That’s such good news! Keep up the good work.

I am on the lowest dose of seroquel (generic) and Zoloft (generic) and am doing well. Kind of blah, but loads better than the anxiety ridden self I was a month ago!

Life is still a roller coaster but I’m handling things much better.

Let’s hope this all keeps!

for how long are u on Prozac?
