Before you go off and sue, look up the clinical definition of addiction, ie what are the clinical features of an addictice drug or med. You will find that Effexor lacks several of the key criteria, so it is not addictive. Also is is very common for pre release studies to not indicate some problems. Effexor was reformulated into Effexor XR to address some of these problems that cropped up in the general population.
In general I am a big fan of American/Americans; till you act like this ! The answer is always to sue; ignoring the fact this med is, for a significant number, very effective at treating depression. Please try to remember how significant depression is. It kills, limits life enjoyment and happyness. There are always trade offs. If Effexor was a treatment for something minor like a rash then the side effects would be unresonable, but is is for depression.
