I figured that was what you meant, James. :)
You know, I am rather fond of that endless Effexor withdrawal thread. Not only does it bring new names to the board, which is always invigorating, but there's a lovely sort of grace to that thread. I know there are many very knowledgeable people on the meds board who know a lot about synapses and down regulation and a lot of things that twist my mind in knots (good thing I didn't follow my dream of being a genetic engineer). And that's wonderful. You can absorb so much on that board and learn of so many possibilities. But on that thread, people come here hurting and looking for answers and then are able to share their experiences with others, give comfort, and pass on the knowledge they learned here. I know much of it can be found in the archives, but isn't there something satisfying about the giving and receiving on that thread? Not to mention all the wonder when people find out they aren't alone in what they feel and they aren't just imagining it, no matter what their doctors say. I may not be explaining it at all well. I just know I'm fond of that thread.
Which is apropos of nothing, I suppose. It was just meandering around my brain today.
