Wow! they really did a number on you. 
I was practised on also, like a lab rat. It is an awful feeling
knowing first of all that you are different but then to be experimented on, just adds salt to the woud, so to speak.
I also have to agree with Tahoe in that not all doctors are evil. I think unfortunately people with these disorders get treated this way from lack of knowledge
in this specific field.
I've had most of them also and then some. None of the worked,...only made my symptoms worse.
I don't like doctors but know there are some very good ones out there.

I went through a period like that 2 where they took me off effexor and tried me on 3 or 4 different medications. It was a bad time of my life becuz I wasnt really thinking as myself so I couldnt stop and think normally and try to take control of it by myself. None of them worked that good and they finally put me back on effexor for probly a year. After another year I stopped taking effexor 2.
The withdrawal from effexor and the others was pretty bad and lasted maybe 2 weeks it felt like a really bad hangover. After a couple months I started to feel like my normal self again. I had been on different medications for 3 years strait so it was good to be clean. All of that took place during my high school days so u can imagine how shitty goin to high school was for me lol. but I did have fun skipping high school and doing little things so it wasnt all bad lol.

Its not wonder you felt like you had a hang over when you went off of effexor Philly.
Although effexor osn't a strong drug it has to be gradually taken and needs to be gradually reduced when discontinuing it.
Your doctor should have told you to gradually decrease the strength over a period of time.
nice to see you again Glad to see you post

I should have stopped over a period of time but I stopped cold turkey and thought I would be ok lol. Effexor wasnt 2 bad and it helped me the most but I still dont like being on medications. I told my doctor I was quitting it and he said it wasnt a good idea and I should gradually reduce it but I quit anyway. The withdrawal was bad but not 2 bad. Im fine now so it all turned out good, now I just have my good days and bad days.
Nice to see u again too Lacy.

Oh that good that he warned you then. I'm not on a high dose either. My doctor wanted me on 150 mg a day but I only take 37.5 x's 2 daily. It's worked the best for me out of any other drug they have put me on.
We are completely snowed in here today Philly.
We have over 2 feet of snow and it is still snowing so i really should get off my butt here and help hubby outside.
Take care and have a good one also.

Me too I hate depression, I moved to Spain to be with my girlfriend but now I can get more Sun in the winter. I was better last year, its lovely here, it can get cold and the days are short but sometimes you can sit on the beach and read in the sun in the middle of winter (fully clothed though), fantastic.
I crashed and burned at work a few years back and went into depression, it was a scary place, I knew I was down but I couldn't pull myself out. Tai Chi helped me but now I am full on Martial with Taekwon-do I love it and no sign of depression at all this year for me
Now all I need to do is find the perfect strain to help me relax and sleep, my sativa is like bloody ectasy teehee
All the best

That sucks Dr. high. Yes I know what you mean. I get bummed out in the winter months.
I do think a lot has to do with less sunlight in the winter months. The sunlight produces more serotonines and dopemines and all those good brain chemicals that make you feel better.
We have all those sunlight bulbs in our house. It helps a bit but nothing beats the sunshine.

Thats really nice FPT. Sun and beach sounds lovely in spain. I think that would put a smile on anyone's face.
I am also loking for the right strains for me.
I wish I had been more selective with my choices when i ordered seeds. I hadn't put as much thought into it as I should have,
Let me know what strains you come up with.

Whoa man this is like reading a post I've wanted to type but I was too afraid to.....I have had those same damn issues to battle with....the kicker is the physical crap.....hydrocephalus and cerebral palsy....not to mention the psycological garbage.....At a young age i was diagnosed with Severe Depressive Disorder, Borderline Bipolar, and Severe Anxiety.
At a young age, about 10years old i found myself very sad, angry, and i would have constant thoughts about death. I never knew why i was like this, and even when i tried to escape these thoughts i was never able too.
Also, everytime i would be around a group of mre than 4 or 5 people i would be come very nervous, fidgety, i would loose my breath, break out in a sweat, and feel like i was about to pass out.
I was like this everyday. Every single day.
Oneday, a few years later i was finally taken to a doctor for these reasons i told my mom about.
I was prescribed a few medications, wich i never felt as if they worked.
Some of them made me feel nothing, some of them made me gain weight, some of them made me loose weight, some of them would make me fall asleep 15minutes after i took them.
I was on and off meds for years.
Then i found marijuana.
Ever since i have found marijuana i havnt had anyof these problems.
It(marijuana) has truthfully helped me, and i will be eternily gratefull for it.
I am a happy healthy person now.
I can get up in the morning and know that i do not have to feel like i used to.
I can go into a public place with 20,000 people in it, and feel fine.
All because of Cannabis.
I can smoke a bowl or two, and be okay for that whole day, and most of the time the next day.
As long as cannabis is in my system...i am okay.
Marijuana, Cannabis, Weed, Pot, Reefer, Herb, Ganja..ETC
I have have serious anger and depression issues that....I know for a fact....would land me in jail for life....
when I was 6, I tried to commit suicide...the mental shittt from the sex an physical abuse f'ed me up big time....parents were then, and still are alcholics....so at 10 years old, without friends....I lost it....I tried killing my bi'atch of a mother with large knife...and attempted to poison my father.....
.....lets just say....now my entire family thinks I am a disgrace.....cannabis takes the anxst and anger from that....and makes me feel like I can finally breathe a sigh of relief......I definately have to thank my girlfriend for all of the listening.....but cannabis has made the transition alot more smoother since moving.....
Sorry for the long post guys, but the above post struck a cord with me.
Thanks for listening,

It get more depressed in the winter months 2 some seasonal shit I think. But the winter is a good change since it was hot and sunny for so long it got kind of old. I smoked a strain that was perfect for me before, but 2 bad I didnt know what strain it was lol. All I know is that it was some kind of Kush. I think Romulan, White Widow, and Kushes are probly the best kinds for me.
Buddy_Williams, thats bad that u tried to commit suicide at age 6, most ppl dont try that shit until there a teenager. I went thru a rough time in my life 2 but never tried to kill myself and Im glad I didnt becuz life is a privilege. I have bad anger problems and depression but weed definelty helps to get rid of the anger.

I think most people, especially ones with depressive disorders, tend to slide a bit during the winter months with less sunlight.
I don't know anything about the different strains but have heard from others (like blaze who know his strains) that kush is one of the better ones for anxiety prone people. I really am going to research this a lot more because I had no idea there was such a huge difference within the strains.
Yes it is sad that someone would even have that kind of cognitive thingking at the tender age of 6 to even consider suicide, let alone attempt it. I CAN also remember feeling like I wish I wasn't born around that age but did not have the comprehension to even understand 'suicide.'
Its interesting how men and women differ in how they handle stress. Men do tend to get generally get more aggressive whereas women generally tend to withdraw and become depressed. Men may be just as depressed but they show it so differently. I know when my hubby is depressed he doesn't show saddness but just gets angry.
I've never had an anger problem because I think like most women I tend to self hate. I'm not sure which is worse.
Self loathing and self hate can be very harmful emotions also.
Its horrible but I can hate and dispise myself more than anyne who has harmed me. I'm not sure why I have such a problem with getting angry at others. It usually tends to get directed back towards me for some reason. I'm not sure whether this is just a female trait or what but I do know that women tend to become more self distructive while men tend to become more outwardly aggressive.

excellent post Lacy. you have elaborated on some interesting details that certainly ring true for me. I have had huge anger issues that have gone unchecked, and cuased significant trouble for me. I have contemplated suicide often, though not that much now in the last while. Weed has always been my "leveler". Its almost humurous that something so beneficial is the same thing we all have to slink around in the background for to gain the benefit - and with some accepted risk of the consequences if caught.

Hey Tahoe,
We had so much snow hubby had to come off night shift and make paths for the dogs so that they could get out of the house. It took him 1 1/2 hours.
I'll post some new pics in my "let it snow thread'.
We have at least 2 feet and in some place more due to the drifts.
Had a great day thanks.
