A New Year and A New Me
I just spent the last month titrating (getting off slowly) of my Effexor. Let me tell you that this has been the worst experience of my life. Honestly. There are so many other things I would rather do than detox from a heavy drug -- for instance, walk on hot coals, slam my hand in a shutting door, running into a wall, etc. I was totally off the medicine for 14 days and my poor body hurt all over and I was so depressed and anxious. However, I am off the Effexor which is a difficult drug to withdraw from and am on Lexapro which is supposed to be a gentler drug. After a week on the drug I am feeling better than my old self. Also, I spent a good bit of time shaking off the past and getting rid of that "damn" sin bag I drug along. Feel like a new person. Older but newer.
Blessings to all. zera

Wow! I've heard that stuff is just the worst thing in the world to kick .... and you did so in 14 days! Awesome! I can only imagine what you went through. Glad to hear that you're feeling better again!
Hello Ms. Zera,
I like your site. You worked hard to make it simple yet elegant. I see that you have your ups and downs. We all do! That’s the kind of world that we live in now. Fortunately, it isn’t going to stay this way much longer.
I like to write articles about God and religion on my site. I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. Jesus gave us a message of hope that is in the Bible: 14 "When the good news about the kingdom has been preached all over the world and told to all nations, the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) (CEV) I hope you get a chance to look at them.
Keep up the good work.
