> That's why we stopped taking Effexor. But you also need to have your thyroid checked. It has probably been affected by now. Messy stuff. Even if you add in thyroid, you may have to cut out Effexor. Rule out everything else first, which is what I did. After three years, I wanted my life back, and there wasn't another possible cause.

I was diagnosed as being hypothyroid while I was taking Zoloft. My sister, who has never taken a pscyhotropic medication in her life, was diagnosed with it at around the same age I was.
You know that I support your going after Wyeth for not being upfront with us about the side effects and withdrawal problems of Effexor, but I think you're way off base with the thyroid issue.
