Sid, I was only trying to let Frankie know that if she needed to get information about effexor all she needed to do is read some of the threads because there is a lot of information from people that have tried it and have been on it for a long time and know its long term effects. One major one for me was the weight gain which was a lot. Not just get one persons opinion. I have been on effexor for a year and if it wasn' t for the information that I received here I wouldn't have known that i was actually having problems with effexor. They brought to light many issues that I didn't or wouldn't have considered. I took the information and made my own conclusions. One was to wean myself off of effexor to see how I felt. After a week of a lower dose I could immediately feel the difference. I had so much more energy. It only continues to get better with time. I didn't realize what a fog I was in and would have continued to feel the nothingness that I was feeling if it wasn't for the information I received here.
I disagree that people hang out here because they don't have a life. I believe they are here to share their experiences with others.
By the way, if it is such a waste of time for people who have no life - what are you doing here???
