The studies speak for themselves. No emotions....just the facts. They do confirm the experiences of the people posting world wide about the drug. It is a bigger problem than originally estimated. Effexor seems to be extremely effective in initially "snapping" people out of depression, however, continued use begins to work against the disease because of the side effects associated with its use. These side affects adversely affect the physical body as well as the patient’s mental state. These symptomatic side effects progressively worsen the longer the patient stays on the drug. There are some people that have been off the drug for 2-3 years that are still experiencing a number symptomatic side affects directly associated with effexor. This is just starting to be recognized. This should be a great area of concern for all of us that have been exposed to the drug. Good or bad experiences. I believe, based on the research that I have done, that as the studies filter in that we will find that the drug will end up being directly responsible for some permanent mental and physical damage to its users. What bothers me the most is that the manufacturer still has not voluntarily stepped forward and lad the cards on the table. I think that it is now only a matter of time before the FDA steps in once again and forces them to do so or pulls the drug off the market until these issues are researched in depth and specifically addressed.
