I can't stop posting!!! lol

But I do have another question that I would like to get opinions on.

Does anyone think that you can become intolerant to your meds after taking them for so long? This is a constant fear of mine, as I feel like I am always adding to the ones that I already take. I just worry that eventually none of them will work for me.

Another thing, I have taken Effexor for...well...lol, I have no idea how long, but it's been at least 6 years.

Has anyone ever tried to ween off of Effexor? Do you know what I'm talking about when I say "brain shocks"? Even though I take my effexor daily, and at the same time every day (300 mg in the morning), I still occassionally get these brain shocks and tingliness in my extremities, as if I didn't take my medicine. Should I believe that this is because I might be becoming immune to it? I don't know. Should I mention it to dr? I guess that's a stupid question. I'm sure I should. But the one time that I did mention that to someone in the hospital one of the times that I was IP, they told me that this was nonsense and I wouldn't feel these symptoms unless I didn't have the medicine in me for quite a while. Whatever.

Just curious to hear other opinions on this!

OK. I promise, this is my last post of the day! Well, last new one anyway....

I have heard that people have to have their meds adjusted after awhile, because their tolerance goes up. So it could be that you might need to get them adjusted. My friend has to have her meds adjusted after 3 yrs of being on the same one. I have to get mine increased occasionally.

Don't worry about posting too much. I started posting a while ago, and now, I can't seem to stop...LOL
