> Maybe they should just re-market it as a "headrush antagonist" and make a syndrome called "headrush absence syndrome." They could claim "100% efficacy."
-------------------Ugh, I'm with you. Effexor is the only drug I've been on that seems to have a large user base here on PB, and it's also been my least favorite. It just doesn't seem to be that elegant of a drug, what with all the head rushes and impotency and withdrawl. I wonder why so many doctors prescribe it? Granted, there aren't many SNRIs available, but there are other ways to get NE action (go imipramine!). Maybe duloxetine will be the big topic here next year, instead ("Duloxetine brain zaps!").
I'm excited about the future, though. More and more literature seems to be talking about the possibility of true designer drugs that will act in a specified manner on a more fundamentally understood modulatory system. No more unwanted side effects, more primary action. Go chemists!
