![]() I started this blog thinking I would share all the funny (and not so funny) things about being a stay at home mother of two. However I've turned this more into how I, personally, am coping and living with my depression. While I enjoy writing about my depression and informing others they are not alone, the end of the year near, and I figured I'd write about my life, my real everyday life right now. With New Year just around the corner, that only means one thing...CHRISTMAS! My absolute favorite time of year. While I've always enjoyed Christmas, especially those years spent at Grandma's house with all my cousins, I've never enjoyed it as much as I do now with my own kids and husband.

![]() Some of you may have been on your toes, waiting for my next post after my Effexor withdrawal, so here it is. The new drug I was prescribed was Viibyrd. I was given the 30-day starter pack on October 24th, almost one week after stopping Effexor cold turkey. I was very eager to begin this medication, but afraid of the repercussions it may cause. The first 7 days are 10mg per day doses. During this first week, I felt good, not great or bad. I didn’t really feel any side effects. Although I didn’t really feel better or worse. This was often how my Zoloft dose made me feel. After the first week, the dose increases to 20mg per day. The first 2-3 days of this my morning anxiety returned. During the second week, I visited my psychiatrist for my monthly visit. We definitely had a lot to discuss, because he was unaware of my predominant withdrawal. |
