I have used effexor from October 2000 up
until July 5 2001. The stuff seemed to work
and I was quite happy with the treatment.
That is until I discontinued it. Since being
off the stuff I have suffered dizziness and
other very disturbing after/side effects.
I have just discovered that many people have
suffered these types of side effects for months
and months after discontinuing the treatments.
My job requires me to be focused and very sharp
day in and day out. I am having a lot of trouble
with concentration because of the lasting effects
of this drug.
Needless to say I am really pissed of. DO NOT USE
THIS DRUG unless you suffer from severe problems.
The long lasting (who knows how long lasting?)
after affects of this drug are just not worth
the little amount of relief I got from my anxiety
induced disthymia.
Again DO NOT USE THIS DRUG unless you want an entirely
different set of lingering problems.
