Hi @brightwings,
It has been a long time since you posted. I used to follow this thread when my partner spent a year getting off of Effexor, and your story inspired me. As a Healer myself I actually think of you often as you were one of the first people who embodied many of the things I now believe to be essential to healing trauma and the body. I was also fascinated by your experiences with plant medicine "before it was cool".
I actually decided to create an account so I could message you and ask you if you are still kicking around here on these boards, or if there is any place I can message you to chat about healing and energy and life. Long shot perhaps but I can't see how to PM someone on here =)

To private message another member, go to the hyperlink at their message, which will take you to their profile.
There, you will find the option to "send a private message" that you click on. Write your message and click send. Be aware that there is a built-in security where a new member cannot send a private message at first, in order to prevent scammers/spammers from getting to existing members. Hope this helps!
