There is really no need to get so upset by one person's opinion. If one would read the entire comment and not take things out of context, there would really be no need to get so upset.

I, too, believe these drugs help many, many people; however, there are those of us who react to these drugs in an adverse way, sometimes leading to painful residuals and even dangerous behavior. It would be a tragedy if we didn't talk about those people. As one of the people who had a bad experience with Effexor, I feel a responsibility to share this information with others. The state of mind I was in prior to initiating Effexor was less than desirable, and the adverse reaction I had did not allow me to differentiate between the idea that I was crazy or the drug was the culprit. Had someone shared their adverse experience with me, maybe I would have sought help from my doctor earlier and not just assumed I was crazy.

By the way, I don't drink, but if I did drink and I killed someone, I'd definitely never take another drink again. And if Sudafed was the culprit that caused another person to kill, then that person shouldn't take Sudafed. Duh! You know that old saying..."It hurts when I do this, doc...." "Well, then don't do that!"
