I have talked to people that I remember saying how sick they were on there meds the past year or 2....everyone of them were on EFFEXOR...Once I get off this stuff I would never take it again. I have a friend who the Dr just put on it 2 weeks ago...she is getting off and when she told her Dr she wanted off it he knew nothing about these side effects. I think this really shows we have to be educated about anything we take. And if I would have thought when I first got on and I missed a dose and I got so sick I would have quit taking it then. Again I think this is an awful drug and what makes it even worse that the people giving it to us don't know the symptoms we are having have anything to do with the drug....I think that is really sad cause when I went back to the Dr's they just acted like I was making it up...my legs and hands had retained so much fluid that you could easily leave a 1/2" if not more, dent if you pushed on them. I was told well your getting older and sometimes people retain fluid. Its really scary that the follow up on these drugs is so poor and to think how much longer I would have gone on thinking and felling like I was going to die very soon and I really didn't care.
