I agree with everything Dancingstar says and more.
All I can say is to have regular blood tests that show any changes in liver function. I believe the longer you take it the more damage it does. I thought it was a wonder drug too. I took it for 7 years and was in too much of a fog to realize that all the things going wrong with my body was caused by effexor-xr. Actually I did'nt even care. Nothing bothered me, I accomplished nothing except sleep and lots of it. I have been off it now for about 10 or 11 weeks. Still have side effects that will never go away, but my thinking is clear and I have energy that I have not had in years. The worst of the side effects is irreversible liver disease that will kill me.
I do want effexor taken off the market so others don't have to go through what I have gone through. I am very angry at Wyeth and the FDA for putting such a dangerous drug on the market. That's the way I feel.
