Eldest sororal was supposed to be coming up, but flight was cancelled due to snow. Poo.

Also, failed to get out of bed today. And most of yesterday. Am useless.

someone give me something to get me through the night...

Damn. OK, I can blame today on meds. Because not getting out of bed means I didn't take them yesterday and then blah yadda blah. Man, I really need to tidy my room - will do it this weekend for true.

And I had to tap paternal for money again but because I hate that I left it too late and the only reason I ate on wednesday was that other people paid for me.

And now there is diet coke in the house again when there hasn't been for a week and so I have a caffeine headache and I am maybe jittery but that might just be med-related or cold-related I think I will go to bed now and just huddle under covers even if cannot sleep because warm and calm and will think about nice things, yes.

Damn drugs. Mine are making me twitch a bit, but ye gods nothing is worse than undrugs.

undrugs is huge suck. and it's oddly hard to explain that to people who haven't experienced it. sigh. maybe I should start taking them at night again - that would work better with the food thing, also. hmm. shall considerate.

There may be a dramatic explanation of ye venlafaxine withdrawal online somewhere. That'd be nice. I like it when they say EVEN WORSE THAN PAROXETINE in tones of "Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the meds..."

I take mine at night again because it is somehow easier to remember, and with modified release it makes less difference anyway. the only bugger is that if youdo forget you'll withdraw in your sleep and not be able to do anything about it, and awaken clammy and tired. But yes, having to eat first makes it bloody complicated, so night probably works better for gloombunnies. Also it means you don't wake up on the tail-end of druggedness and feeling a bit lousy.

I had not thought of that last. It actually sounds quite convincing. And thus I shall return to evening druggage.

ho-hum etc.

I did not think of it until I changed back and started feeling better of a morning.

Also extra drugs (up to a normal 150 not a silly 75) make me twitchy. Booo.

I walked by the Healthy Reading books today and noticed one called Coming Off Antidepressants. And there was a chapter about withdrawal which started with one girl having horrible symptoms after missing one dose - naturally this was of Efexor. Old-style, though. Apparently it is the worst for quick reaction to missed doses. Sigh.

Twitch.

Yup venlaxine is suck squared for missing a dose I take it at morning and night. I do get a little twitchy and sometimes get shakes (parkinson's disease!) It is well worth taking even when you don't get out of bed.

Yup, venlafaxine is officially crappest halflife and nastiest withdrawal, so based on what cold-turkeying off paroxetine was like I will allow at least a decade should I ever want to undrug.

But yes, coming off the tablets on to the modified release really made stuff better. I am depressed ergo I sleep a fair bit, which cannot be rare, so sometimes I used to go into withdrawal in my sleep without missing any doses. For fuck's sake.
