SOS-
I totally agree with you about the Effexor. I was on it for about 9 months, I had to try to take it around the same time every day because my body would know when I needed it. I would have that tingling sensation......and I didn't like it! When I weaned myself off of it every step was horrible. It took a couple months before I began to feel normal again. For the time being I am medication free.....but I'm not sure for how long!

Hi Carree, I'm so scared to be on this Effexor, I don't like the control it has as far as not being able to deal with the side effects that come with not being on it...It makes me not want to take it because I know how bad it's going to be if I need to go off it for any reason...I know even with weening off of it...it's going to be baaaadddd....  thanks for confirming that this is normal and others have experienced this tingling and dizzyness... o.x., sos  |

I'm taking Lexapro,,,,,,,,,,,went to my dr. about anxiety and depression, not the CSP.
Medication will NOT work alone, you need to see a psychiatrist/behavioralist who has background with OCD. It's like quitting smoking or thumb sucking, it wont happen with just meds alone.
I must say that this disorder causes a more severe depression because of the social implications involved. I couldnt be happy because my social life was completely stunted/embarrassed because of this problem.
I'm really trying but some days I just want to give up because even if I stop I'll be scarred forever.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE JUST STARTED PLEASE GET HELP, YOU CAN REVERSE THE DAMAGE NOW. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND MY BODY IS A MESS.
GOD BLESS
