Noillusions,
I've seen an online petition, but lost the link. However, I don't think the petition will do much good. I spoke with someone at the FDA, and he said the FDA does not actively search for drug complaints, they rely on consumer feedback. I agree with everything you said, have seen a lot of other postings from people with the same experiences, and have watched someone go through a nightmare withdrawal of Effexor. There is a way to take action, and it starts by filling out the FDA complaint form. The person I spoke with at the FDA said they take every complaint very very seriously. Help out the next generation of Effexor useres to be more informed:
The FDA Med Watch Report, online complaint form:
