I don't want to sound harsh but having taken effexor, I can *definately* see how it could have pushed somebody over the edge. It made me agitated, fearfull, anxious, and caused insomnia. It increase my heartrate, and gave me a terrable inner restlessness (also known as akathesia). It made my mood swing, it made me irritable, it made me iscoalte myself, it made me paranoid. I lost my appetite on it, I even lost some hair. Most of all, It made me not give a shi* about my body, or my life.
I have taken many drugs, and effexor definately brough me within inches of shooting myself.
I don't mean to be so graphic, but I may be approximately your kids age, and if I am at all like the voice they never had. Maybe it helps some people, but the teenage brain is much different from the adult brain.
