Nan: I’m 48 and I only started getting hot flashes, and intenses copious sweating, when I started getting off the effexor–from 75mg to 0mg in 24 hour flat. I know, I’m an idiot, I went cold turkey 2 weeks ago, but I’m feeling the effects less and less every day, so, you hang in there, girl! Actually, the dreams are actually pretty interesting. I consider them the silver lining here. At this point, I really don’t trust the pharmaceutical industry. I trust the people on this websire a heckuva lot more. I feel like we’re the unpaid guinea pigs for the industry.
And your forgetfulness—that’s all part of being 50 and in the pause or in the peri. As Malcom Cowley said: “They tell me whenyou get older you lose your mind. What they don’t tell you is you won’t miss it very much.””
