> Yeah! What's the deal with that! Is the withdrawal really that bad. I haven't noticed any physical or psychological draw to the drug, and I've dealt with my own serious addictions not to mention have helped multiple friends come off of serious IV herion addictions. I can't imagine that it's that bad. Herion withdrawal is indescribably awful. Could someone elaborate on the withdrawal symptoms from Effexor. How bad are they REALLY!?!?!
