I don't know what heroin is like, but it can't be any worse than this was and kind of is...I'm left is something like colitis and bad stomach neck and back pain.
It doesn't affect everyone in the same way. I can't imagine why anyone would take the risk. Doctors do not know how badly some of us are affected, and I am now doing my best to change that. It has obviously been kept under wraps for whatever reason. Drugs that mess with your brain are very serious, and you better have a good reason for taking them and take them with complete and informed knowledge. Once you have all the facts, go for it.
Check it out for yourself. Do all the reading you want to at www.wyeth.com. It's old information, but if you get into the meat of the material, you can find out anything that you really need to know. I think the only thing I couldn't find was the weight gain. I don't remember whether or not it addresses the fatigue as most of us say that after a while on Effexor you will develop severe fatigue even though you are amped in the beginning.
Believe me, don't believe me. Whatever. I'm going to an art show; so I'll leave you to your reading as I can't make anyone believe anything.
