In reply to Re: Effexor Withdrawl - I did it, so can you » David55, posted by dancingstar on January 13, 2005, at 20:15:57
Yes, we know. Effexorwar.com. Their email bounces. They must be overwhelmed.
Here's the deal: As of Monday, no one that we've spoken with was willing take these cases either individually or as a class action unless someone has died. We didn't think that was terribly neighborly of them, nor do we think it is right, fair, nice, ethical, moral or anything else that you can think of.
(In case you don't know, I've been working with the most amazing patent attroney with a strong background in pharmacology who doesn't have the resources to handle this by herself and have enlisted the aid of lots of other folks along the way while I've been compiling my research data and articles until 2:00 & 3:00 a.m. Our lawyer, whose name I don't want to plaster all over the internet has put together my research and data and presented it to some of the top class action law firms in the country...and that's where we were until:
On Monday I broke down and called a client of mine. I'd been reluctant to do this cause I don't like to get my own clients involved in my medical dramas. He was out of town, but called me back yesterday. I told him the whole story, complete with all of the problems, why no one wanted to help us...and his first response to me was, "Why doesn't somebody just sue 'em?"
I love this man!!! (Not in the classical sense, please, I just mean, he is the greatest!) What a kewl thing to say. While I was talking away, he had been looking things up about Wyeth and he started telling me about how long they knew about the well-documented withdrawal problems, etc., and the bottom line is that we sent him our information yesterday and are waiting to hear back from him.
Please say a prayer or two or three that he decides to help us because he is beyond any question one of the smartest men in the country, and if anyone can do this, he is a great, great choice to help us! Not to mention that I trust him with all of you implicitly; so I can rest and carry on with the rest of my life, kind of.
So that's the story. I hope that whoever needs to see this, sees it....

bebe0217@aol.comOne last thing...if you have any interest in participating, I ask that you one, file an online report with the FDA, explaining your problems with Effexor so that you have a record of your complaint. DO NOT ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS, JUST DO YOUR BEST. I'll give you the link again.
2. Just drop me an email, letting me know that you are interested. I need a detailed chronology of your symptoms and exactly what happened to you and why you feel you have a claim. (Can't help you in any way with that one either, and please don't ask anyone online to help you with it. Just do this to the best of your ability. I know that the lawyers will only consider taking people with documented claims...this I am sure of; so make sure that your doctors have a record of your having taken Effexor, not that we have any lawyers, really, yet, but I know this anyway; so I'm trying to save you and me aggravation later.)
Lastly, so that I don't have to write the same things over and over again...which I know that many of you know I have been doing -- rather badly at times, for which I apologize -- I'm in the middle of moving, stressed, tired -- oh, I know there is no excuse -- I'm really sorry!! -- anyway, could you pass this information on to new people that might need to know it. Then I can just send new information out to the people on my list, and it can get through to everyone that needs it in case someone wants it.
Thank you very much for your help!
Okay, one last time from my end, the FDA link. , k? https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/
OH, OH, OH, Just in case: If you are a class action law firm, I have a lot of wonderful potential plaintiffs and a ton of research data to help this case along. I can also more than likely help with litigation support. We would really appreciate the opportunity to meet with you!Thanks everyone :-)
