I've been through the whole spectrum of side effects from Effexor and had my life nearly ruined.
13 weeks of withdrawal in the summer 2003. Couldn't work, or anything else for that matter. I today am still not totally myself. The last emotion I frequently read about is anger.I have read about thousands who are ready to scream at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals for this drug they've made. They've conveniently failed to warn us about the hell we will go thruogh if we decide to stop taking it. I found out that I did not need this drug in the first place, it was a mistake. I have set up a web site on my own time and it's just NOT a commercial site.There's a lot of information there if you want to get mad with me, it's dougtyler.com ,go to the Effexor link at the bottom.
Take care all and thanks.
