You have to be presistant with your docotor as they will take any information you gained from the internet with a grain of salt.
The liver dammage may/may not have been through effexor alone, it may have been through the combination with alcohol.
Effexor may increase the cravings for addictive substances since effexor will lower overall dopaminergic neurotransmission. Many people notice stronger cravings for cigarettes, drugs, and alchohol while taking effexor as they may restore the dopamine/serotonin ballence.
