New member here, just dropping in. Why am I here? Hmn...I'm 47 ad have experienced severe and enduring bouts of depression since I was a teenager. I have tried Gestalt, person-centred and CBT, with the latter actually being quite helpful. I have been taking Effexor XL for 12 years, and whist I believe it was useful in the early days, I am desperate to come off it; some of my most intense depressive episodes occurred while taking this medication. i need to believe that I do not have another 30 or more years of feeling like this. It is exhausting. Anyway, I am am off to read a bit about you guys.... :bye:
