I saw the posting too, it was on this web site. I don't remember who wrote it though.
There are many people experiencing similar withdrawal effects from effexor. Even though it works, a lot of people feel they were not warned of the side-effects, withdrawal sypmtoms, and for lack of a better term, addiction this woudl cause.
As an aside, there is something you can do. File a report with the FDA. They regulate Effexor (which is made by Wyeth Laboratories Inc. in Philadelphia.). Help the next generation of Effexor users to be better informed by doctors and the manufacturer. You can submit a complaint to the FDA online at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/
The more people that report this problem, the better response we will get. You can also call in your complaint to an FDA state office (here are each state’s telephone number)
