Dear Bebe~
The words that Renee used ARE true.
Sadly, you had a very bad experience with Effexor,and again I am sorry. I understand what the withdrawl is, because I went through it. Bebe, I was fine afterwards, and I would have been fine if there weren't the circumstance in my life, that there is. As you know I CHOSE to go back on Effexor. I was not forced or persuaded,or sick from the after effects of the medicine.
I have clinical depression, and this drug helps me greatly. It helped me so much, that I made the mistake of thinking that I could handle the fear of a cancer recurrence without it, and that's when I went off the drug. Well, guess what? I found out that it was the Effexor that was helping me cope, and funcion, and not be scared every single second.
Bebe, you should use those words that Renee suggested. For "some" of us, Effexor really is a good drug. I can still say this AFTER going through the withdrawl from it, and I would imagine there are others who feel the same.
My best wishes to you,
Faith~
