It is really not appropriate to tell somewhat that what they have experienced (e.g. stupidity under effexor) is not valid. General trends count for very little when it comes to one person's symptoms. J. was supporting that he also had the same symptoms, so your comment to him was not only rude, but superfluous.
I also would have thought that by now you would have realized that weight gain can be a major contributor to depression for some people. When someone says they won't take a med or want to change meds because of weight gain, I wish you would respect that, rather than beating them down for their point of view. One's selection of medication IS their choice, along with their doctor's.
