> There is no since in everyone being scared to death of stopping or even starting a med (Effexor) if the problems that they may be scared of don't even apply to them. In conclusion, many many many people in the world are capable of making their own decisions without someone like you to come along and say how idiotic and wreckless he or she may be for not doing things exactly how you approve. Next time, before you try to blame me for making horrible decisions because you think I might be horribly and psychotically depressed (or whatever your opinion is) please realize that the material you read to draw your conclusions about such matters is available to everyone and you may or may not be right.

Second, if you read all the material, then you must have known that 3 weeks to get to 150 mg is unusual and you must have discussed the matter with your pdoc. It is perfectly normal that you felt like sh** at that rate. He should have made you go slower and perhaps you would have tolerated the med then.
Finally, if all the useful info on ADs were available to everyone, as you seem to say, then there would be no point for any of us to post anything here about our own experiences. Not even about how great it was for you to stop Effexor XR cold turkey.
