I guess this will be more to "cjf" than anyone. I respect everything you have all gone through, and I have carefully read everyone of your (everyone) posts, I also may have failed to mention about the phsycology degree's my family members and close friends hold) I personally have come off horse, and blow both cold turkey and have not expierienced side effects as bad as these people are talking about. I have been sober for a long time now, without help. But, now in order to get through the day, unfortionatlly I do need something like effexor. How many of the people on this drug do you think actually check this site out, or take time to write? Your right, I'm anal, oh well. I guess that's why I am where I am in life. I see the same problems on this sight that I do in the rest of the USA and world. It kind of makes me sick. Gang up, sue. My mom smoked during her maternity with me, should I sue the tabacco companies too? It's the same thing with PHen phen, effexor, that new stuff with prozac. Yes, I will quit posting at this sight, no problem. I have walked a mile in these peoples shoes,..hence the many stiches up and down my wrists. And that's from the times long before, and long after I uses the "bad" stuff. You people need to come up with your own decisions, and quit letting people influence you. It's just not worth it. It's no conspirecy theory. Face the facts people, just try something, and try to get along with your life. If you sit at a pc all day and believe everything you read, of course you'll have problems. I don't know if your all American or not, but even if not, you all have the freedome to make your own choices, and you do not have to be influenced by the medis, or other people. You all hold your lives in your own hands. A drug just may help you get a better grip, but it's not a save all. Take care all, I wish you all the best of luck in the future. I do not mean any disrespect to you, but this site just got on my nerves. I guess I'm a little cocky, but so be it, again, that's why I am where I am today.
again, sorry,

> > You are entirely right, we all take these kind of drugs for different reasons. I also believe that Effexor or most drugs for that matter affect people in a variety of ways. BUT if you think this sight is anal then don't participate. I don't know if you are on this drug or if you have come off of Effexor with little or no side effects. If you have had very little or none of the side effects then consider yourself very, very lucky. I think it can be scary just to know that medication is needed just to get yourself through a day, any day. But then to finally feel strong enough to go off the drug and experience any number of these horrible side effects, it makes you wonder if you really are crazy. It is a very dismal thought to find what you thought was helping you could have been debilitating to you instead. Don't be so condescending until you have walked a mile in any one of these peoples' shoes.

> > > Dear Mcguyver, I just want to tell you , you are SO right. I can't believe the overanalization that is occurring on this sight! No offense to anyone! I have taken things that have made me feel a lot STRANGER than Effexor. Besides, everyone is different. We cannot all benefit from the same medication, because not only are we all different, we are all taking it for different reasons! If I don't like it, I will simply stop taking it, heaven forbid. That's all,
