Hello all,
I will post to let you all know how I do coming off of Effexor. Please keep in mind that those who have had some success with Effexor can also provide helpful advise. Is Effexor worse than any other drug? I dont know. Do I think that the FDA, medical community, drug companies and whoever else should do a better job researching the effects,risks of medications and making them known to the medical field AND patient with no uncertainty? ABSOLUTELY. Do I think the general population is over medicated, yes. Especially the elderly. Do I think that exercise and diet plays a MAJOR role in our mental and physcial health, UNDOUBTEDLY. And the only reason I stated that I thought this was a site that "hated" effexor was because I read a couple posts that stated we are on the wrong site if we have had positive results, maybe I shouldnt have taken that literally. Sorry. Im glad this site is up for informational purposes and if the patients dont speak out the chances of things changing are slim to none. So, I commend all who are speaking out on both the positive and negative experiences, thats how we all can learn and help others. Hope you all have a wonderful christmas. God Bless, Renee.
