I am so sorry that you had such an awful experience in withdrawing from Effexor. I am grateful to you and those who have shared their experience with it. It has helped me educate myself about these meds for depression.
I use to think that depression was a disease that not many shared in having. I was majorly wrong. When I started sharing that I had depression, I was astounded that so many were suffering with this illness as well. I wonder how many other illness are directly linked to depression.
I think it's a great idea to wear an identification bracelet. Since many of these medications cause acute withdrawal symptoms, it seems very reasonable to wear a bracelet. Who wants to deal with horrible withdrawal symptoms when they have been in an unexpected accident?
I started wearing an id bracelet after suffering from withdrawal from Klonopin. I realized from my horrid experience that I did not want that to happen again.
