I started this blog at the start of my 4 month journey of weaning myself off of Effexor (Venlafaxine XR). I am now completely tapered off having it also 100% out of my system. This is the aftermath. For more information on my tapering experience, click below.
The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them. - Maya Angelou For the last year it seemed as though someone was out to get me at my place of work. As if someone was deliberately going out of their way to either harass me, mess with my things, or start rumors about me. I spent many nights wondering where all of the animosity came from and what I could have done to cause it to be directed towards me. Today, the culprit came forward. Though I'm absolutely disappointed to find out everything that transpired, I'm also a bit relieved. Relieved because now not everyone in the office is a suspect, now I know exactly who has been behind the malicious attacks. Now I know who to protect myself from. If I were to have found this out earlier I don't think that I'd be as forgiving. I'd be too upset, and hurting far too much to let it go and so I'm happy that the answers came a bit late. It's time to accept that people are just shitty sometimes and that in the grand scheme of things the only people they hurt is themselves. Someone who is capable of maliciously antagonizing someone else is someone that carries that trait in their character in ALL situations. (Please refer to Maya Angelou's quite above) It isn't YOU that did something, it's them. It's their character flaw, not yours. No matter what people say or do, do your best to stay positive. The things that you allow to affect you can affect you physically as well as emotionally and mentally. And if you're in a place in your life that your health is fragile, even more reason to pay it no attention. Hold on tight to your support system and remain confident in who you are. God has the final say.

On October 1st, 2013 I began weaning off of Effexor (Venlafaxine XR). I decreased my dose weekly by 10% and have ceased all intake of the medication as of December 15th, 2013. (Follow my journey from day one, here.) SUBSCRIBE BELOWArchives
