>To salarmy4;
The withdrawl effects of effexor for some of us is VERY INTENSE AND REAL...and to see you balk at other peoples pain makes me wonder what your agenda is really about. For people such as yourself who have not had any or little problems with coming off effexor is WONDERFUL, but to keep promoting the product as if it has NOT affected many others(when there is so much documentation in the posts, and other places) is unethical. It might be a worthwhile drug for some people to try, but they deserve to know the potential effects it can cause them, and they are not getting the correct info from the Dr's out there. That much we know! There is also a site out there from the FDA regarding new side effects with effexor and a quick survey they want from folks who have had these. As soon as I find it again I will post for everone. So the FDA has finally decided to take more action into peoples withdrawl symptoms.
