In general I am a big fan of American/Americans; till you act like this ! The answer is always to sue....

As for the Effexor debate, I have to agree with the majority opinion. Effexor didn't help my depression at all. I did have side effects and I did go through withdrawal. It wasn't pleasant, but it didn't permanently harm me either.
The fact that it didn't help me doesn't give me the right to make it unavailable to those it will help. Yes, it is an imperfect drug and has side effects, but if it relieves depression in others, then I am all for it.
