These threads are getting awfully mixed up. MBL started this thread conveying her positive experience with Effexor. I responded in kind, eager to chat about the positive changes I noticed in myself. The next thing I know I get a message telling me to beware of Xanax. I don't take Xanax. With regard to your post, I deeply sympathize with the problems you experienced upon withdrawel. However, the thread was intended, I believe, to focus on positive experiences with Effexor. Again, I'm sorry for the horrific problems you experienced.
