My Doctor prescribed me Effexor X.R. .. 75 mg and I take 3 capsules every day. This medicine can be extreamly dangerous and addictive. The side effects are endless and if you miss just 1 dose, you feel horrible, sweaty and out of control. I KNOW one day that the Health Department WILL take this OFF of the Canadian market due to it's side effects. IF your doctor does prescribe this for you......read everything you can about it before it is to late and you are stuck on it, or you have to go through with-drawls ( 3 to 4 days ) which will scare the heck out of you.
