In reply to Sad story of Effexor gone wrong, posted by Roomy on January 30, 2004, at 6:18:03
I am so sad for your loss. I haven't withdrawn from Effexor, but I have from Klonopin. It was Hell on Earth. I became suicidal and homicidal. So, I could understand if this fine man became suicidal from withdrawing too fast from this powerful medication. The fact remains; no one knows the real reason for his feelings or why he was suffering.
Please don't blame yourself for this. Surely, there were things that you may have not known about this man. This may have had nothing to do with the Effexor. It may have been about a situation he felt he no longer deal with in his life. Further, even if you told him what you know, he may not have listened to you.
The truth is that blaming yourself will not bring him back. Certainly, he would not want you to torture yourself by taking the blame for something you had nothing to do with in his life. Presently, you can use your power to empower others with knowledge about this medication.
