Hi my name is Daniel V Im new to this site. Im 19 tears old and I started when I Effexor Xr when I was 17 years old. I started because I had panic attacks most constant sweating and Jell-O brains. I was on it in the beginning for 7 moths worked complete and abruptly quite wrong move disastrous move. So I went back on again for about the same period and quite now my life is at a complete stand still. I haven't left my house in about a year my mind is going crazy. And I only have one thing to blame EFFEXOR Xr. My life is ruined what actions can I take what can I do . I doubt you’re a doctor but I lost I hope in physicians. Is there any legal action that can be taken against this company. I'm lost and afraid to try any other anti-depressants. I want to sue. Please contact me . I got no one to talk too please.

I'm not on Effexor anymore and I think I'm still depressed manic or something. I have lost all my courage and I don't know why. I wish i could return to the state I was before the medicine. I isolated my self in the beginning because of the withdrawls and i couldn't take it, now it's pure emmbarsment and shame. Thanks for all your replys and support. I'm new to dr-bob thread becUSE i need support and i want out of this situation. I know i can't sue a billon$company, I'm just made about the adverse effects its had on my life.again thank you

Daniel, that's very touching when you say 'I have lost all my courage'. Being 19 you have time. You can work out how to look after yourself and have the kinds of friendships you want. That can take, you know, longer than it should. My memory of being 19 is that I had no idea how I was going to put up with it. Keep in touch eh.

Well Daniel, I have experienced something like like what you are going through. Not so bad as you, but drugs (benzos) did damage me until I could barely leave the house. A lot of fear. I had some intellectual interests (reading) that involved the way I was feeling and I did a lot of therapy which gave me a framework for it, if nothing else.
How did I get out of it? I haven't completely, but now, at 53, I know the sorts of relationships I want, the quality I want, and this I didn't have a clue about when I was younger. I mainly thought in terms of what I was meant to be doing. Now I have some idea of what I want, which (while we're at it) involves open trusting tender friendships.
And I revised my expectations downwards, and tried to remain uncolonised by current poular culture nonsense. I read the Wasteland and King Lear and reminded myself that life has been mostly awful for most people most of the time. I read a lot of history. The world can be a frightful place. Who's to say you're not right to be frightened? (You didn't say you were frightened exactly.) And then things you can't control like the Effexor manufacturors, you could let go.
We were lucky in the 70s. Popular culture had isolated bits of intelligence then. Sorry I can't make this more coherant.

Hi Daniel
The eh was a sort of a verbal tic meaning 'you will, won't you?'.
I live in Australia. If you look at a map of Australia, find the most easterly point and I live 10k from there.
You live in the US?
