There's a thread in ap about electricity and wiring. And that triggered me to writing this post.

Until a year ago I regularly had emotional outbursts, anxiety attacks, fits. Emotional instable. Name it by any other name than 'rose', me and my surroundings were very unhappy with my behaviour.

A year ago I started on efexor. An antidepressant. And from the moment I started, my emotional outbursts disappeared nearly complete.

It's like there is a bigger fuse in my head (or thicker wiring). Before there was room for the washer and the dryer to turn together, but if some one switched on the dishwasher at that same time, my fuse would blow. Now I can easily handle the dishwasher and even the coffee machine. Maybe if some one then turns on the blender, I may feel a little pressure.

Of course, there have been two or three times my fuse blew this last year, but all in all my life (and that of the people surrounding me) is much much better than it has been in ages.
