how many licks does it take to get to the center?

k, I'm not doing a very good job of lurking with all this posting so pretend you didn't see this... :)

I used to be on effexor, after my stint with paxil/trazadone. If you were anywhere near PG, BC, Canada then I could hook you up... but in the meantime...

I don't know what they have on your side of the border, but here in Canada you can go into a doctor's office (or psychiatrist's office, or the health unit, or emergency ward [last resort]) and get a loaner pack... enough for a couple days. It's not a big deal here, just walk into the health unit, flash your carecard, they look up your prescriptions, see that it expired and give you enough until you can see the doctor again.

Again, I have no idea what it's like on your side of the border. Maybe it's harder, maybe it's easier. Going into effexor-withdrawal ain't anything to screw around with tho'...

There are far better ways to be self-destructive :-)

it is WAY harder to get perscription drugs here. WAY!!

I used to be on paxil and trazadone too, and ambien for sleeping. word it didn't work for very long. so I cut myself up lost 100 pounds and got myself landed in the loony bin at the local hospital. rock. if you're gonna do something do it up good.

anyway I ran out because I can't afford to buy more. not because I don't have a perscription and not becuase I'm trying to get off them on my own. I tried that with effexor before and I thought I was going to die. I went from like 175 to nothin and even when i was laying down the floor spun and my stumach revolted. it was HORIBLE. ayway I sold a painting today, so I went right to the pharmacy and got my drugs, YAY!

P.S. I know all about being self destructive, its my middle name.... actually my middle name is Grant, close enough.
