http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27067 I think that Effexor XR is a poison. I would highly suggest anyone who is considering taking this medication not to. I have been off this medication for a total of five days. I took it for 3 years. Only by the grace of GOD am I totally off of it.

Through an error between the pharmacy and therapist I was recently told to quit Effexor all together.
