> Bebe,
> Thank you for your concern. I took effexor for about 2- 2 1/2 yrs, mostly at 150 mg, for a few months at 225mg. Yes, I have been tapering and Today I took 37.5mg. I have said all along, SO FAR I am doing fine. I have also said that my moods have been up and down, but not at extremes. Bebe, I am not the only person who has been frustrated with your posts. Please go back and re-read my posts, you'll see that I had some side effects while taking effexor, I also dont regret taking it, I also have empathized and sympathized and agreed to some degrees with you. My frustration is that it seems that your mission is blinded by your pain and anger, and you are only seeing things as 1 possible end for all who take Effexor, PAIN and SUFFERING. And that is not true for all who take Effexor. This is all those of us who are doing ok on it and withdrawing from it ok are trying to get you to see and to stop using the scare tactics and grouping us all into the same category, your category. Bebe, I really dont want to debate anymore. I dont think I can say anything more than I already have. I hope you will understand you can accomplish a mission without being extreme. There are usually two sides to everything. I have no hard feelings towards you only compassion for what you have/are enduring. God Bless, Renee.
Renee,I'm glad to hear that you are feeling all right, I was truly concerned. I do perhaps react too strongly to those that try to suppress the right of others to find out that there are people that have been harmed by something that they are about to take themselves, especially since so many of us haven't been told this by our doctors, though some of you have. Most of our poor doctors didn't even have any idea what we were getting into. That is why I feel so passionately about this subject. Certainly these people had no idea what they were getting into:
