Hi,
Ive never been on AD before and am currently on 300mg EFFEXOR XR daily. This sees a high dose but also seems to be working.
What should I expect in the time to come when I have to go off it?Thanks

The losers are people who take Effexor since any money paid in a lawsuit will simply be passed on to people who need drugs from the manufacturer.
