news:IZqYd.120223$tl3.31930@attbi_s02... Woe, *after* reading all you guys (& gals) probs with Effexor, THIS story shows up on the news: http://www.theindychannel.com/health...14/detail.html Yep, the article say it takes 6 weeks to 8 months to come off of it - and you can probably bet on the high end of that range. The problem is, if you lose your insurance like I did, *and* your job (which is usually the reason you're losing your insurance), then it's not likely that you can afford the $600.00 a month for the prescription. And believe me, you *DON'T* want to just quit taking them cold turkey - I went through torture for months and still sometimes feel the effects of it a year later. I truly believe this drug needs to be taken off the market for new prescriptions. There's already a class action law suit against the company, brought by the *THOUSANDS* of people you have had their lives nearly destroyed by this drug, there have been even more *THOUSANDS* of complaints to the FDA about this drug, yet Wyeth Pharmaceuticals is still making *BILLIONS* of dollars selling it!

Howard Berkowitz had some very interesting things
to say about {OT} Antidepressant Issues: Again, no drug is completely safe, although this is one of the good ones. Any antidepressant can have sexual side effects. Welbutrin/Zyban (same drug) is especially safe in cardiac patients, but needs to be used in caution with anyone with a history of seizures. On one e-mail list I used to be on, a male participant commented that his wife's antidepressant rather increased her drive. He wasn't complaining. :-) -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |
