I've been on Effexor before. I've never had withdrawl from ADs, and I have always been a bad girl and just stopped them.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Also, Scrappy's DH is the cutest! Nice bracelet, too.

Of course, it'll be nicer come mid-December when it is OVER!!!!
Sadly, since I'm only doing 1 class per semester, my freedom does not kick in until June- 1 fall class, 1 spring class, and the first summer session class.
I'll be able to walk with the regular commencement in the spring though! It just seems so far away.

It'll be here before you know it, Nora. I'm taking a summer school class right now (AINotFG) and 2 classes in the fall (one for fun - Young Adult Lit!!!). Doing my portfolio presentation in the fall.

Mostly lurking...
The conversation in the thread the last 24-hours or so has reminded me that I really want to write a book that is essentially, "The Girlfriend's Guide to Anti-Depressants."

For those who are considering taking ADs while pregnant, if you decide to do so, you should call the company and offer to be part of a study. They would really love to know how the drug affects pregnant women, and they would probably give you your drugs for free. Also, possibly some free medical care/checkups.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Pretty bracelet, Scrappy!
Ativan has saved my cookies on a regular basis. I lurve it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Went to a new salad bar today. This one, instead of charging you for each item, lets you pick six things.
On romaine, I went with: mixed nuts, feta, avocado, scallions, asparagus and tomatos. In oil and vinegar. It is nom nom nom.
Now when I'm bored at work I can make up salads. Next time I think I'll get avocado, bacon, chicken, tomato, scalion, and nuts in blue cheese.

IIRC, there are some b.org mothers here who were on ADs during pregnancy and for the duration of their nursing relationship.
My local non-Buffista friend was, I think, off them when she was pregnant, but wound up back on them soon after having her daughter.
Check Ask Moxie, which probably has good information on it.
I only know a little about EFT and haven’t done it myself, but I’ve been in DBT for five years now. It saved my life. And I don’t say that lightly. If you ever want to talk about it, give me a holler.
It's been a major change for you! You really are, like, the poster bug for how well it can work.
