I’ve been off of the effexor 3 years now. I’ve been in discussions with my family for the past three hours and we’ve got no plan. I left my doctor a desperate message this morning and he never called back. Now I’m back in bed honestly wondering if I can just disappear somewhere in the night and never come back. I have such a loving family and this sickness is going to destroy everyone and everything. If I go away then it all stops.

Hi @wmbcat
Here is the link to the Effexor discussion group that @sears mentioned.

It sounds like you need caring guidance from a physician or psychiatrist. I hope your current doctor can provide that for you since I know how hard it would be to find a new doctor under the circumstances. You need a plan.
Forgive if you explained this in your first post. I just want to be clear. Are you on any anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication right now?
