i am on effexor 225mg. and have been for years, my doctor added ability and once it got into my system i was worse, so i started with half a pill, it was a little better but my crying was increased from when i just took Effexor, so i took it half for a couple of months and no improvement, so i dropped it all together.

I read and reread your reply a few times, you also didn't direct it to anyone specific, so I was scratching my head trying to figure it out.  I did have a feeling something had offended you, but wasn't sure what.  That's when I figured I'd just ask, to clarify.  I'm glad I did, so we could clear that up.

It's easy to have misunderstandings from time to time in a setting like this, because you can't see tone, facial expressions, etc.  I too am glad we got that cleared up.  :0)

My apologies for any confusion.

Thank you for explaining that it was not a sarcastic comment, but supportive.

The confusion did arise because, like you say, your reply was not addressed to anyone specifically.  Had it been addressed to whom it was intended to help, then I would have understood quite clearly.

Glad that we have cleared that up.

Best wishes.

I'm glad I asked, I had a suspicion that's what you meant.

Actually, I wasn't being sarcastic in the least bit.  I copied your paragraph and said "perfect" because I thought I was a great suggestion.

It's difficult on the internet without being able to interpret a tone.  I would never ever post something like that, being a smart-alec.  I was sincerely agreeing with your advice.

And this comment of mine was actually directed to mandy, I didn't specify that in my post.  Maybe that's where the confusion arose......

"If she will adhere to that plan, it's perfect.  That way, if you get confused, or befuddled, you can ask her to chime in anytime, but not unless you need her to. ."

I'm sorry you interpreted it differently.  Hopefully, my posts speak for themselves and you can see that's just not my style.
