Many of us want off Eff because of the side effects. For my part, on 75 mg. I had extremely bad memory loss and no energy. I have been on Celexa and Lexipro with no such side effects, but not sure if it really helped with depression. Anyway, this is why I wanted off, and the withdrawals are really exactly what you have read here in this forum. Good for you if Eff works for you, and congrats for beating much worse demons, but keep in mind that all of us are battling too.
regards
> I can't figure out why everyone is so convinced that Effexor is bad for you and it is evil. I have been addicted to more serious drugs like: Marijuana, Meth, alchohol, and cigarettes. This is just to name a few, not to forget gambling, now I am in recovery and currently 7 years clean and sober thanx to 12 step programs, and it seems like everyone thinks Effexor is so bad, but maybe it isn't and all you have to do is change your atttitude and maybe you will be happy of such a drug.
