"Everyone deserves to be happy and optimistic again."
The effexor is helping me with severe cognitive and fatigue problems, that I've had constantly for the past five years. I'm actually starting to get part of my long term memory back after being on it for seven months. I've suffered severe bouts of depression since my early teens, 15+ years, so I would consider this a chronic condition for myself. I have no problem with taking this medication indefenitely as long as the benefits are there. A diabetic wouldn't be encouraged to forgo medical treatment, so what is the problem with this condition that I have, diagnosed "chronic fatigue syndrome?"
Seraphim I do thank you for your concern. I do believe that we do have to keep our mind open to views that may not agree with our own.
