Effexor

So, I’ve been prescribed medicine, as I mentioned previously. Although, I would rather not be dependent on medication, I know it is necessary because I am absolutely certain I have at least some sort of a chemical imbalance. I can honestly feel my moods/emotions flip like a light switch, and as hard as I may try to regulate my rollercoaster of unpredictable moods, there is just not a single thing I can do. That’s where the medicine comes in. Since starting the medication a week ago, I have felt balanced, like a normal person, less paranoid, less frantic, I have less anxiety and worry, and I just feel better. Things between Johnny and I have been pretty damn close to perfect, and I know it has to do, at least partially, with the fact that my emotions aren’t all over the place and I’m no longer suspicious or accusing him of anything. Tomorrow I start taking the full dosage, because for the first week my doctor wanted to get me used to it gradually and had me on a half dosage. As far as side-effects go, I haven’t had much of a reaction to it negatively. I mean, yeah, my appetite has gone down and I’ve lost close to 10 pounds in a week, but is that really such a bad thing? I need to lose weight, and this medication is certainly helping me. Since I don’t eat much, I have been taking a daily multivitamin, so I am gaining nutrients. Basically, this medicine is a miracle drug, it’s exactly what I need in one little pill.
