ARe you employed by the pharmacuetical company???????? I stopped taking Effexor XR 6 days ago and I can barely function. I was only on 75mg a day. I am so dizzy I cannot drive, I am so nauseated I can't eat, i get zaps and disorientated when i move my EYES!!
We are this drug companies guinea pigs and I for one do not appreciate it. I was told nothing when i was handed these free samples. And if that is not wrong in so many different ways--then I think I would like to become a doctor so I can give innocent people that are asking for help a drug that will effectively drive them insane.> Effexor is a viable option for you because:
> *It has the possibility of affecting serotonin, norepinephrine, _and_ dopamine--more chemicals--thus increasing your chances for relief.
> *It has no anticholinergic side-effects.
> *Sexual disturbances are reported less than with SSRIs.
> *It has gained the acceptance of psychiatrists worldwide in less than 8 years of U.S. FDA approval.
> *It has few significant interactions with other medications.
> *The idea of it being addicting due to withdrawal effects is unfounded; if it had any chance of being addicting, it would have been labeled at least a Schedule IV substance by the U.S. DEA.
