Actually, no one could have known as Wyeth does not provide the appropriate information for any of to have known. I only know this now after doing many hours of research myself. He could not have known this. The data available is too conflicting. No one really knows anything accurate about Effexor. They say it causes weight loss, but many of us gain weight. It is an anitdepressant, yet causes depression. This goes on. It causes pain, fatigue, liver damage, hypertension, hypotension, aortic aneurysms -- for me that's a big one. If I had known that, I'd never have taken it.
It is my belief now that I am drug free that I should not have been on any antidepressant as I was never depressed. The antidpresseant is what caused my depression in the first place. For others, it just makes their depression worse. For some people it works, and it helps.
Then there are those that have really bad problems, problems so bad that they want to forget about life. Effexor is great for that. I lost track of my business and everything that was important in my life for nearly three years. "Not to worry, it will all work out. I'll think about it tomorrow..she thought, and went back to sleep."
Give me good old fashioned exercise. They can keep their drugs. They've done enough damage to my body.
But thanks for the suggestion. I'm glad it works for you.
