Moose,
I'll be happy to talk about Effexor XR again.
I've been through it.
I've been in the hospital because of it.
My doctor only had the published information on how to do a withdrawal--which was quite different from the information the company gave me.
Had they published that, it may have saved at least some of the torture of coming off it.
Wyeth's monography for side effects are different in the US than in other countries (they list many more for outside the US markets.)
I think I know how to get through withdrawal.
I absolutely know what withdrawal is like.
Even a year out now, I'm am still experiencing effects--since it's been so long, I imagine it's no longer the drug, but permanent damage.
YES! I will be happy to talk about Effexor.
It works for lots of people but they don't (at least up until recently) tell you what can happen when you go off it. --and from my experience, they don't or at least didn't tell the doctors either.
Yes! I'll be happy to talk of just Effexor-XR.
