If you are suffering the horrible withdrawal symptoms associated with discontinuation of Effexor and Paxil, please visit http://www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/problem.html and complete the online adverse reaction report via their medwatch program.
We have to work together to help others become aware of the dangers of these drugs which ARE addictive. No one seems to be taking this syndrome very seriously, and I fear that it could be very dangerous for a severely depressed patient to suffer through the withdrawal. It is irresponsible for doctors and the manufacturers to fail to inform patients of the withdrawal syndrome -- and patients are rarely informed.
