this is so sad, and i am so sorry you and your baby and family had to go through that. i just got off effexor, and thought that my opinion of this drug was as low as it could get. i was wrong.
what a nightmare. i know this drug helps some people, but i still don't see that outweighing the harm it does.
just my opinion...
> Please do not take Effexor when you are preg. I just had my baby in July of this past year and the doctors told me it was safe to take while preg and it was not. At all safe. My baby got dehydrated in the womb and had horrible withdrawl symptoms after he was born. He was failing to thrive and we almost lost him. Please please please do not take that med when preg! I went through ultimate hell with this.
