Notfred you were one of the lucky ones, IMHO!!> *If you guys were to eat at a bad restaurant that made you sick, would you tell your freinds to eat there.*
That is my point exactly, most of my friends who have eaten effexor have become very ill indeed while stopping it.
*In this case everyone who ate there would most likely get sick. Millions of people have taken Effexor without problems. I was on it from 1995 till 2004 and did well. A few "shocks" if I stopped, this resolved in a few days and did not happen at all if i took ativan.*
Notfred you are so lucky, and that is my point exactly. I actually envy your experience. For me to say *a few shocks* is just not fair. I felt like I had an electric socket hardwired into my head that was set at 30 second
intervals that sent me reeling for weeks on end.I'm only one of the thousands upon thousands who have reported this hell, I'm glad you got off with minor discomfort, but I didn't, so please let everyone explain their personal stories.
I'm not trying to be negative but this particular drug really, really messed me up and I feel that I need to express it so people get a balanced perspective of how this drug effects different people, your was good, mine was beyond horrid.
I wish you well, but I had to put my point across, please don't be angry with me, I mean no disrespect to you but this is what happened to me.
