I have called my T, thinking I would do nothing but cry on the telephone, after getting encouragement to do so. Weirdly, every single time I have called him, he has somehow helped me feel better. I would call. Even if you don't feel completely better, what do you lose by calling?

I really feel for you on the effexor thing. I detested that stuff. I called it "Side-effexor." And coming off it was one of the worst experiences ever. It took a hwhile, but it does finally get better. I hope it happens quickly for you.
