I've taken AD's for 15 yrs and stopped Effexor several times
with no problems. Regis, I think you are way over generlizing
and using scare tatics. People with mental illness
need facts not generalzations.You know what ? i have got a major f#$king mental
illness that causes me to not leave the house or wash
for weeks if I don't tale meds. So of course the meds are
strong ! Dah ! No shit ! We are not treating a cold here.
As I realize that if you have significant depression
it is for life I am taking these meds for life, withdrawal
is not an issue, why would I want to stop ? Go back to not changeing clothes
for months ? No thank you ! The HMO screws
around with my Effexor and I have come off it several times, from a 300 mg
dose, no taper, and a few days of atavin was all that was required.
So not everybody has problems. Go ahead, file you lawsuit, we will all pay higher
drug prices. If we continue to be litigus everytime powerful meds
have no side effects, the shear cost of legal defence will push prices up.
Thank you for higher prices !james
