Stress Center Peer Support

I was on Effexor XR about 4 years ago. It worked very well for me and I was on 225mg. I started slowly coming off it over about 6 months until my final dosage was 37.5. I was on vacation and decided to just come off it altogether, without talking to my doctor about it. I too wanted to have a baby. I...

Annette,

Thank you that was beautiful. Yes it comes from within when we begin to count our blessings and are truly grateful for the little things in life. I live in a remote area and love the beauty of nature all around me. Never a day goes by that I don't thank God for another day!

She was sober the last 6 months of her life with the help of AA. Had she joined sooner she could be alive today. However her health ...

Dear besos, Everyone reacts differently to death. I lost my daughter aged 42 in Dec. 2006. I have had anxiety/panic attacks intermittantly for over 30 years when going through stressful episodes during my life...but when she died it became worse and that's the reason I'm doing this program. It's alr...
