"Everyone has been telling people how wonderful the drug is, and it's nice to be able find out that it is a potentially dangerous drug before one takes it, not some time down the line after it's already in one's body."
Since these are my words, I just wanted to add that what I meant to imply was that in many places other than on this website people are being told how wonderful the drug is and that we don't hear much at all about potential problems and that it is nice to be able to locate information or find people that have had different experiences than some of us were originally exposed to.
Though doctors have prescribed drugs to me for one reason or another throughout my lifetime, this is the first time I have ever had any problem when I stopped taking one. No one should for one single moment begin to think that it is normal or acceptable for you to have a problem when you stop taking Effexor. It seems as though it was not until June of 2004 that Wyeth Pharmaceuticals did not let doctors or patients know that they could not stop taking Effexor without in many cases experiencing great physical and emotional distress, and it may well be only thanks to England that we now know as much as we do.
