[Pray]

Hi Ruth,

I am so sorry for your loss. Gods blessings to you and his family.

I too Lost my Mom just before I was dx and was already depressed so during treatment I grew more depressed.Then my youngest brother passed away and I started on venlafaxen which is an antidepressant. It has been a year and I had been doing very well and I look forward to going off the venlafaxen. My dr. wanted me on it for a year. I see him in two weeks and hope to be weened off. One less drug, Everyone on this site I'm sure knows what its like to just have one less pill to take!

Your Friend,

Nancy
