> Hmmmmm.....I wanted to ask the same question. Why one might think Dave has a connection with Wyeth seems reasonable given the content and tone of his first two posts. I guess I'm also wondering -- given Dave's point of view and the amazing statement that he had no withdrawal symptoms -- why he would post on a board that's all about Effexor's horrible withdrawal symptoms
1.) Look at my posting history.
2.) There is no correlation between Wyeth stock prices and Effexor posts at dr-bob.org.
3.) It would be the world's most inefficient marketing strategy.
4.) Law of the vocal minority, and absent majority dictates that those whom experience unusually bad side-effects or withdrawal from Effexor are most likely to complain about unusually bad side-effects or withdrawal from Effexor than those who did not experience adverse effects -- at least not to nearly the same magnitude. This isn't a new phenomenon; just look at the number of anti [insert drug name/class] web sites. You have your "Prozac survivors," your anti-benzo, anti-stimulant, anti-Effexor, and anti-GHB groups; the list goes on an on... Extrapolating statistics from only one cohort does not produce objective results.
