In reply to TELL OPRAH YOU HATE EFFEXOR, posted by maxziggy2002 on April 28, 2004, at 20:38:42
> To everyone out there who is suffering or has suffered from Effexor related hell: This drug and others like it will never be taken off the market until the mainstream media takes up the cause. So many of us are suffering in shame and silence. I believe that if enough people write to Oprah and suggest this as an idea for her show, they will make one. We need the media if we want this suffering to end, if we want our suffering to mean something, if we want the drug companies to stop peddling this crack! Contact Oprah and ask your friends and families to do so as well. Together, we can stop this monster!
Why on earch would you tell people that Effexor is a monster?? Why would you make sure to scare every single user of this drug?? Effexor IS NOT a monster and it has helped alot of people. Just because you have had a bad experience with the drugs doesn't mean that everyone does. I think it was very selfish act of you to post a message saying everyone should email Oprah to pull this medication off the market. Why don't you sit back and remember why you were put on the drug in the first place and think maybe some people are suffering worse or less than you are. I am on Effexor, the drug saved MY LIFE and to think because of people like you who don't think before they type someone like ME could be dead.
