I would love to do that - unfortunately the NZ Govt subsidises Paxil but not Effexor.

I unfortunately took the advice of my GP on weaning myself off Paxil, not realising that it might not work if I needed it again. None of the GPs that I have talked to have heard of this - it wasn't until I saw my PDoc that he told me it was quite common. I have looked on the net to see if I could find any more about this but can't seem to find anything.
