My pdoc insisted I cam off effexor cold turkey how ever much i told him of what I;d read, he would re-fill my prescription... and the withdrawal is truly truly terrible...

Please don't dismiss something you haven't experienced.

There is more than enough evidence on the web concerning the withrawl symptoms of Effexor yet people act like it totally took them by suprise...

It seems to me that the benefits of Effexor for people far outweigh the side effects and withdrawl... I dont think there is any free ride in the psych-pharma game... You can't expect to take a life-altering drug and not have some additional unwanted effects... I think -all- drug use comes with some price...
