[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 189297, member: 5663"] I think he needs to change his medications. I have been dealing with pain for 6 years now which caused some major depression. I took Effexor for the first couple of years and towards the end of that period was beyond depressed, the Effexor wasn't working at all and all I could think of was jumping off a bridge (I live near a few, including the Golden Gate Bridge, easy suicide spot). I finally switched to Wellbutrin and have been fairly stable since then. I did take a year off work, which helped incredibly and have found a job that doesn't stess me out and doesn't hurt me physically. So when I do have a bad day with the pain, I can keep my butt in my chair and it's not an issue. Taking as much time as he really needs to heal physcially is important. If he pushes himself he'll hurt more and then get into this cycle. I have had to learn not to push myself. It's taken some greiving, but things are better (not perfect but better). Effexor is a horrible drug. It took me months to wean myself off of it, I got horrible headaches and these brain zap things. But once it was done I could really tell the difference between the two drugs. [/QUOTE]
