in 1999, the wife, my boss, AND HIS BOSS were all on some type of happy pill.
GUESS WHO had to take up the slack for all of them at home AND at work???
and then MY doctor told me I should be on something... i told her FIRST- if you ever say that again i'm outta here. Second then how does she expect anything to ever get done let alone on time and on target???
much to the wifes credit... Six quit taking what ever version and dosage she was currently on(over two years there were many)and has not gone back.
my BOSSES on the other hand... are still out at happy valley, BUT!!! with somebody else watching over the herd cause i quit in june of that year.
you just have to be able to say "I'm OK... I'm not Great and I'm not Terrible... but I'm OK." at least that's what worked for her.
Yeah, they got me on... geez can't remember... o0ne of 'em (only been on em for 5 years), they'd have me on them the rest of my life if I don't quit on my own. I'm slowly tapering. I have to say -- they don't make me happy. I think they helped me cope, but I remained pretty depressed, so I don't even know.
effexor.
