> Hi everyone. I just finished watching 20-20's feature on antidepressant withdrawals, and thought I would look to see if there were any sites or links discussing Effexor withdrawals. What a wonderful thing this is to find. I was on Effexor for about 4 - 5 years, off and on, and while it was great for controlling my depression, it was hell whenever I missed a dose, or went off of it for whatever reason (such as forgetting it when I went out of town for a few days, running out of it before I was able to get my refill, etc.).
I am no longer taking it, and will never take it again. The horrible effects of both initiating and stopping treatment with it were unreal. I will spread the word as best as I can to others to avoid this medication, and to seek out other options whenever possible. Best of everything to all of you.
Steve
