Hey,
Did your neuro do an MRI? Curious because I took EffexorXr for 18 months and my MRI has funny white spots on it. Read my post above for more details....
What permanent damage do you have? What are your symptoms? What was your withdrawal like? Maybe we should start a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer.... I have a real good lawyer. :-)

> I got my bill from my neurologist for 2 visits and blood tests after having gone to him because of the PERMANANT DAMAGE I've got due to EFFEXOR(2 years off the drug).Just short of a $1000.There will be more visit's when I can afford it.The doctor couldn't find anything wrong..of course, but did put me on a mild dose of clonipine which seems to help greatly, but not completely.It's simply masking the problem.I'll be checking for lawsuits,but all three of my doctor's say.."Duh,the sideffects should have worn off by now".
> And of course they charge they're usual fee for doing nothing!!
> The Neurologist did joke that shrinks are beginning to refer to effexor as side-effexor.ha..ha..very funny.
