Raggy, I am so sorry for your loss. I am getting off Effexor myself and when I was on the medication I had suicidal thoughts and that is the reason I got off the drug. I am doing better now but the thoughts still run throughout my mind. I never had suicidal thoughts before the drug. My doctor kept telling me that they would pass and for me to give the medication a little longer and that the suicidal thoughts would go away, but the never did. It has been 8 days off for me and everything does seem to be clearer for me now. If the doctor told me the side effects and what the withdrawal was like I would have NEVER taken this drug.
