Effexor withdrwal, what are we doing about it?

Posted by dotah on June 16, 2000, at 21:15:55

I'm getting kinda scared. I've been taking 150mg (TR) Effexor for more than a year. On those few occasions that I've had (ok mostly through carelessness, I'm also ADD :) to stop taking it for more than a day I've expereinced two serious side effects that are well documented here: Extraordinaril vivid dreams, and light flashes similar to vertigo. These symptoms are real, and the cause is obvious!
My expereince has me frightened because several posters to this board are saying that some symptoms (e.g. the light flashes, leg pain) simply don't go away.
So what are we doing to make sure the FDA is checking in and that the drug companies are actively working on this issue?
