>ed,
There is a lot that I am not permitted to post here concerning Effexor due to prohibitions posted to me here by Mr Hsiung.
You see, we are talking about taking the two drugs together. It is when they are combined that the sudden death could happen. This is because of properties in the drug Effexor that may not be easily understood.
The drug can induce somnolence and insomnia. I have studied this but can not post what I know about this here. There are a lot of reports available concerning this and one from here over 10 years ago concerning the person falling asleep in the day while on Effexor.
But going ahead anyway, it is when the drug is combined with another drug that can induce somnolence, the exponential aspect of ramping up the {depressive} aspect of the central nervous system happens, and can be to such that failure of the nervous system can happen which causes death.
The chemical in the drug comes from diesel fuel and is highly toxic and is used in insecticides and nerve agents. It is also used as a solvent in industrial applications of which I am prevented from posting about here. You see, Effexor is not a new drug, but a new name for a knock-off of an old drug that I am prevented from posting about here. And the addiction/withdrawal can be horrific to the point where some can not get off of it and have to take it and get the awful effects of log-term use of the drug.
Yet today, I could post how one could overcome addiction to this drug, but I am prevented from posting that here. But thanks for posting to at least bring this aspect of Effexor up so that readers could have more information to make a more informed decision as to take this drug or drug their child in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor.
