Hi Jeff
I haven't caught up with you in a long time. I'm sorry to hear you're doing rough again. I just wanted to comment on the meds. I was on lots of simiar ones at one point in my life. In particular though, I have to mention the effexor. I came close to losing my mind/life with it. I had extreme reactions to it, and from what I read I'm not alone. I got sick as a dog with it, so I'd skip a dose until my stomach felt better. It became a wild Catch 22. I didn't know you couldn't miss a dose, go off. Finally I pulled myself off (only talking about 3 weeks on it erratically). I was a babbling, sobbing idiot. I could have jumped off a roof, and that's not my personality. A friend came to stay with me a few days. Neither of us knew what was wrong with me. I figured it all out way later.
I always had gastric stuff with the other meds, and that's generally why I switched. Effexor was in a league of its own for me.
Take care, Jeff
Kim

Three girlfriends?
Did you ever see that episode of Seinfeld where Jery shared his girlfriend with this guy because she was so much work? Anyway, take care and I hope they get your meds straightened out.
