Hi Winddancer,
Happy to help :-)
I had a link handy, and then I lost it, never to be able to find it again...don't ya know. Spent the next hour wandering around the internet, got blocked out of the stuff I wanted by yahoo and went in through askjeeves instead, but it brought me right back here, sort of, but a long time ago and differently. Check this link out, I think you might find it very interesting. Don't know quite how I got there. That must be why they call it "surfing" :

2Ddiscontinua.htmlMore simple information here:
http://www.crazymeds.org/effexor.html
And here is a link that shows that at least in part the basis for prescribing Effexor for hot flashes is based on a mere 12-week study, which does not seem to be long enough to reach realistic conclusions about how it works on our bodies in my opinion:

Those should keep you busy for a while.
