Of snot and pills

tblog is way slow tonight--it took me forever to just get into my account.
Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been updating as regularly lately. I've been really busy, and fortunately for me, things have been fairly uneventful on the Effexor front. This is in part because I went back up to 37.5 just to stabilize, and I've decided to take out one bead per day until I'm done with the damn things. I realized that at this point going down half a dose is too tricky and too stressful--so hopefully this way will be better.
Meanwhile, I stop taking my vitamins for a few days (mostly just flakiness) and I get a bad cold! In just a few hours, I've blown my nose into almost an entire roll of toilet paper. Yes, this is gross, but if I'm gonna talk about my antidepressant withdrawal symptoms here I can also talk about my snot. Right?? Both are unpleasant and personal...but I'd rather deal with the snot over the Effexor withdrawal any day.
I hope everyone is doing OK out there. Thanks for the comments recently. It makes me feel good that this blog is useful even for a few people. For what it's worth, my stats indicate that today I've had 5500 visits to the blog! Based on the comments alone, I know those are not all unique visitors, but that's still pretty cool. Thanks for visiting, y'all! And I hope you start feeling better to the point that you have NO compelling reason to visit very very soon.
