theelt – so I still have the questions about the metaphors. Also, can you point out to your mother that the way she feels when she misses a dose is related to how you are feeling? My mother is also on an AD, and I think her experience of running out of her Effexor for a weekend gave her some understanding of my w/d.


hermi – Aww, I’m sorry. That’s very frustrating and sad. But never say never. It’s actually better to stagger w/d in a family. So, you do your recovery now, and just wait. I would not be surprised if he changed his mind at some point. Because these ADs work like amphetamines and make you feel a bit more up for awhile, but then you have to pay the piper and you get worn out. One thing at a time, though!
