my dearest maxx... i know for a fact that stopping Effexor can be dangerous for a person during a stressful time... during withdrawal, i was extremely suicidal and always crying. i had zero control over my emotions...
i presented the flip side. i didn't minimize her concerns. "Even bad things can have a few good benefits." and sometimes... "you don't know what you've got, until it's gone." This war will not last forever. And AD's can be prescribed on a temporary basis for situational depression or stress.
Thank you, for presenting your concerns... but I *aint* your dear.

> my dear kimberly, re. iraq hero's wife---her concerns seem appropriate. 'emotional blunting' is a clear sign important areas of the brain have shut down. areas in great part involved in 'core' personality. as effexor is so new, and in view of recent press, i appreciate her concern. 'blunting', as with lithium or benzo patients may be irreversible---does this lady wish to risk going through her life that way? not from the tone of her post. i think she is wise to address this event swiftly. tcas and maois always left me where i started. effexor? i feel it too soon to know. best wishes
