"That's the strongest warning the FDA has, and it's being used. It may not be what you want to hear, but that black box warning is adequate.
Effexor has been a life saving drug for many people, including a number of people here. "
I do not dispute any of this. However, I wonder if I have possibly misunderstood the black box. Is the patient expected to warn his/her family about the potential problems? Is this a reasonable expectation from someone who is depressed?
