In regard to Effexor, here is a portion of an email I received from my doctor in the course of our correspondence about my withdrawal problems.

"Dear___,

I am aware of the withdrawal problems associated with Effexor. I do however
agree that the pharmaceutical companies are being blatantly dishonest with
physicians about the risks associated with their products. Unfortunatly I had
to hear that Vioxx had been recalled from a patient rather than my Merck rep who
insisted that Vioxx was completly safe until the moment it was recalled.

I recently kicked a Wyeth rep out of my office. I asked her about the
withdrawal problems associated with effexor, I wanted to know what solutions
other physicians may have found. She told me that withdrawal is not associated
with effexor. I told her that either she was being blatantly dishonest with me
about her product, or she is extremely uninformed about the drug she is
peddling. She is no longer welcome in my office..."
