i question the fact greatly that a pharmaceutal company can create ane release a drug like effexor xr without actually knowing the side effects. i have been on effexor xr for two and a half year and i feel extremely angry and victimised by all the information that has been witheld from me by both the doctors and the organisation that created this highly addictive drug. I think it is not only a doctors responsibility i think it is their obligation to know exactly what they are prescribing to their patients.....to say that it hasn't been round long enough to know the full effects...is really not a good enough reason. i read this site and it truly makes me phsically ill all these people who have suffered because of this drug. Had everyone really known the implications of taking this drug would they have being so willing. I took effexor xr because i was naive and once used to believe that those in the medical industry were people there to help me. i do believe there are some genuine doctors out there but i with the pharmaceutical company i think they created this drug and have intentionally witheld information from the public. its the most ingenius idea to make more money .....if you have a lot of withdrawl symptoms then therefore you have to take more drugs.....unfortunately morals give way to making money. i advise everyone to do their research.....get on the net there are many articles about the way pharmaceutical companies have been doing this for years....i believe those on effexor xr are victims of this rout
