shivers and shockers

so i am discontinuing my use of effexor (as mentioned before). i decided to do a little research on it last night. i read about it some what before i actually started taking it. all i remembered was that it was not too fun to come off of. well, i am learning that. and really effexor has caused some of my other health concerns such as vertigo. apparently, that is a rare, but not too uncommon side effect.
my sisters and so forth were laughing at me a couple of months ago when i told them i could not get up on the ladder because i thought and felt like i had vertigo. well sisses, who's laughing now. okay, i know you are still laughing, and probably even harder.
but as for feeling more depressed, it is also a side effect of the "discontinuing effects". and those awful, hateful, mean, mean, mean headaches that i thought were migraines, well they are side effects as well. one sight called them "brain shivers" and another "brain shockers". well, they are completely right.
but i am really trying to keep going. so days are better than others. today has been a decent day. i did laundry and started to clean my room. i don't know if it will get finished, but i don't care at this point.
