The newer Effexor brochures/leaflets have more discontinuation symptoms listed than side effects.
Plus, I'm beginning to believe that taking your medicine at the same time every day is a bad idea with Effexor. Withdrawal is easier when you stagger the dosage amounts & times you take it. Maybe the brain shouldn't get used to the same amount at the same time each day.

> I think this is a very good point. Only lately (12 months) have I noticed that my box of Effexor, now contains a stick on warning about not discontinuing the med unless you talk to your Doc. Previously, their internal guff on side effects, covered everything under the Sun (with the glaring exception of immaculate conception!)
> but zilch on withdrawal. I do think they are worried now, about possible repercussions. There are quite a few Effexor Class Suit actions building & pending. Use Google to check the WEB.
