I feel your pain. I was only on it 2 months... about a year and a half ago, and I still experience those electrical shocks and have some short term memory problems. It's really too bad! Just to let you know... you are definately not alone!!!!!!!! Good luck to you and the lawsuit. Kristi.
> I quit Effexor approximately 3 years ago. I took it for only about 6 months. I quit because of the unreasonable side-effects I was experiencing. Within a 3 month period I put on 30 pounds (I never had weight issues EVER in my life prior to this). My memory is horrible as a result of the drug. Even after 3 years of being off it, my memory is still poor and I have been unable to lose the weight. I still experience strange "brain spikes" (these were incredible while I was going through the withdrawals). I have been permanently damaged from this drug. My quality of life has been lessened as a result. I am looking to participate in a class action law-suit.
