> Leo - The information on this site is very flawed and unscientific. I have seen and read the clinical trials, both pre- and post-marketing; have seen serotonin syndrome with all serotonergic antidepressants when used inappropriately; have seen serotonin withdrawl symptoms, (especially in serotonergic drugs with short half lives; like Effexor), when weaning from the drug was done inappropriately. I have read quite extensively on the effects of antidepressants at multiple receptor sites, including Effexor, and my conclusions differ from yours and those of the above site.

>Cam,
We will have to agree on disagreeing. Are you an Effexor med patient or do you work of Wyerth-Ayerst. The information on the site I refered to is not and all flawed. It is dead on acurate. If you have never had first hand experience with actually using Effexor then your research is just that-research. If you have actually used the drug and experienced the side effcts then you would totally agree with me that what the website I referenced says-scientific or not, is extremely acurate. If you have never taken Effexor, give it a try and then discontinue its use. You'll have your scientific proof through first hand experience as I have. I'm sure that as the facts become known that Wyerth-Ayerst will be quietly settling millions of dollars in lawsuits. Again, a little bit more of the scientific proof you refer to. There are quite a few scientific studies on serveral of your linked sites that report Effexor as a dangerous anti-depressant that is extremely difficult to discontinue. Perhaps you should read some of those reports as
well.Regards,
Leo
