There were thousands of signatures there and I think people should know that they might be one of the unlucky contestants in the race for *try my med.*
I think that people need to know all the aspects involved with different meds. I'm not a big fan of them either but effexor, for me, was hideous!!
Racer and Notfred, I can see your point to a certain extent. If you don't try a certain med you won't know if it works for you, right, but I think it's fair and reasonable to also say that effexor nearly ruined me when I came off it and I was way, way worse off before I started it.
If you guys were to eat at a bad restaurant that made you sick, would you tell your freinds to eat there. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be smart but I would shout it from the roof tops to anyone who would listen. Effexor made me so sick when I tapered off it and then went through living hell for weeks that I would tell anyone who is listening to me up here on my pedastal, not to touch it. And just for the record. I do think it's evil and vile and so are the manufactures who have finally been made to place a warning on the box reguarding withdrawal.
Sorry for my rant, I have tried quite a few meds over the years and that is the hands down winner for making my life hell.
I have never signed a petition for any other med and some of those haven't been nice either, but they didn't make me show my voice like this drug did.
Link don't go mate, I hear you brother, loud and clear.
