I Stopped My Meds

After 4 days of pure hell on earth I quit taking my meds. Before you all freak out here’s what I have to say. I was only on the lowest dose of Effexor for only 4 days ( as I stated above) when I called it quits (which would be today). So it’s not like they bumped me up to the highest dosage possible and I just said “screw it I’m not going to take it.” (I know the risks of suddenly stopping  when you take higher dosages of meds). I’m not taking it anymore because of a horrible side effect I got from it,  nausea. I could not sleep because of it (at least 2-4 hours each night), I couldn’t eat because of it and it was extremely hard to keep my food down which took so much effort to do (and I almost threw up at my friend’s house so that was pretty fucking embarrassing). The other side effects I had weren’t was bad but this was the worst. I already have issues with my digestive system and honest to god this made it 10x worse. I told my therapist I’m not taking the meds anymore but she hasn’t replied. So far I’ve felt pretty good today since I haven’t taken it! I’ve been able to eat more than I could before. Hopefully within these few days I’ll be back to my normal self!
