The combination of going off Effexor cold turkey and changing to a med which might not be right for you probably isn't helping. It stinks that your insurance won't cover Effexor at a reasonable rate. These yahoos trying to practice medicine without a license burn me up. Unfortunately, depression is tough to treat, and it can take a long time to find meds that work, and a therapy that works. Anyway, you don't need my rant; you need some hugs, and here they come. {{Hugs}}.
