In reply to Should my child even start Effexor XR, posted by mld on November 19, 2002, at 10:22:52
Remember this is only my personal point of view...
I don';t think effexor should be used as a first line of action against depression.. it does have quite harsh side effects, and I personally found withdrawal hell... There are much more benign meds out there to try first.
having taken feexor on 3 different occasions, i would only let my child (remembering i don't actually have any, but am very maternal) take effexor if other meds had proved useless.
I hope that helps... it must be a terribly worrying time for you
