You make some good points and very valid ones. I have since learned that there is a web site that has OVER 60 complaints and NOT 1 good point... except as YOU say, it can help SOME people feel a bit better, but at what cost ? I checked out the web site, and there are some very vivid and horrible reactions that people have suffered, ALL because of Effexor. Also at many different doses. I JUST want possible Effexor users to read and understand, what consequences, they may end up suffering from. As well as the large list of so called POSSIBLE side effects. Not to mention the HELL they WILL go through, if a dose is missed in error... or worse again... the withdrawls this Medicine causes which WYETH ( the company that makes these things ) cannot ignor or disagree with.
