Boy, I keep posting this.... but it won't appear. I'll try again. :-)

I agree with James..... the people on this board, and responding negatively to the effexor threads, really isn't a good sample of how this drugs affects people. We have to realize... people posting are having difficulies and are looking for answers and people to share with. More than likely, the general population this drug has helped, is out and about doing other things. If you think about how many people have actually posted negatively.... to how many people in the world taking the drug, it's probably a small amt. experiencing these problems. I'm not defending effexor.... It didn't work well for me and I was one that came to this board for that fact... but I also realize that everyone happy with it isn't on the computer searching for answers to effects, ya know? Just my 2 cents. Good luck to everyone, Kristi
