In reply to Re: OFF EFFEXOR AS OF LAST MONDAY, posted by rory on September 30, 2005, at 14:29:18
Hello all. I am new to this. I started taking Effexor last week and had bad side effects- but they soon went away. I found this site last week and have been addicted to it ever since. I am not going to continue taking Effexor, because I am really concerned with all of the problems I am reading about. I have taken AD off and on for about 10 years- but nothing steadily. I just wanted to commend all of you who have stuck this out and come off of this seemingly extremely addictive drug. Going thru the postings, I was curious: Scott- are you currently taking Effexor or have you stopped and are helping others stop as well? As others have pointed out, you seem very knowledgable in this subject. Also, does anyone know if our MDs get a kick back from the drug companies when they prescribe meds? I like my doc, but she was way too quick to prescribe this one without offering any other options. I have taken Paxil, Lexapro, and Wellbutrin in the past, but I don't recall any W/D effects from them.
