Maggie, i can feel your anger since it is also my anger. I\'ve locked myself in my house and keep running in and out of the bathroom. The vomitting, diarhea, dizziness, extreme hunger, brain zaps, and sweats are unbearable but i\'ve decided i\'m going through it...I will not swallow another anti-depressant unless someone force feeds it to me. I was put on effexor a year ago, because i couldn\'t get off of paxil...i was put on paxil 10 years ago for post partum depression. The last 10 years of my life have been a living death...marriage gone, arrests for eractic behaviour, constant behaviours that are totally foreign to who i use to be. I am 45 years old and have not felt human for 10 years. That\'s 10 years of my life that these meds have stolen from me like thieves in the night...i could go on but i am soooooo SICK right now....i just want to get through this....thanks for making me feel like i am not alone. natalie
