TWO MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN MY BRAIN FUNCTIONS SINCE STOPPING EFFEXOR:

[starflyer58]

1. I focus on things very, very intently.... the word is: Dwell. It's an unhealthy dwell. Althought this hasn't started happening again...one good example of this is how I used to sit on the shower floor, either before or after bathing, and just dwell... on all the bad things. That's how I knew Effexor was having some effect on me... because I

Be careful with cutting that stuff out cold turkey, I did that this summer with Lexapro.. and the side effects were terrible. Much to say, but Ill keep it short, I can relate.

you never told me you were on effexor. I've been told that it takes a while to find the right med for you. If you saw a difference in that you weren't zoning out in a negative zone, then that's good. Six months is probably the minimum I would put on any med. (meaning, if you've tried it for at least six months, you've given it a good try and if its not working, have your dr. suggest another.)

as an alternative to meds, you should medicate yourself by going to a Pedro show in Dennison, Texas in February. DO IT.

by the way, what did you mean by "They broke up." They've always kind of been 'broken up." Haven't they? It just sounds like Pedro is acting as another band and may not actually write or sing? Drums I suppose. I never listened to the HeadPhones so I don't know how it worked out.

well... I read on pitchforkmedia.com that David called it quits for the Pedro The Lion moniker... he's obviously working with Headphones and I think he's been on tour with a totally different group also... some kind of semi-super group..... with bigish names from the indieish scene..... whatever..........

about the drugs: I've been on Effexor for about a year and a half... I think I gave it too long... really... but.. Now I know what effexor does to me...

anti-depressents kill your mojo.

they should make a half-anti-depressent and half-viagra pill. Like those two flavors in one box Nerds.

You need to learn to meditate properly. I have a book, i'll bring it to you, the first couple of chapters are fluff, but everything else is worth the read. I also have another book, that I have already lent out to my brother, called "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind."

bring it over man....

Only for my little Joshykins.
