This site is very restrictive, all we can do is vent. My experience with Effexor was that I was put on it to help me deal with My 17 year old daughter and grandson's death. I would have been easier to deal with it normally rather than have my future ruined with this drug Effexor. I was originally on a larger amount and have over a period of 5 years dropped to 37.5 MG. I have tried taking out one bead of medication at a time but the side effects include: horrible brain shocks, vertigo, dizziness, blacking out, craziness, nausea, low kidney pain, constipation, anxiety, crazy sensitivity to any noise or repitition, light sensitivity, tinnitus, ringing in the ears, dry mouth, insomnia, lack of energy, wandering thoughts, lack of concentration, irritation, rage, anger, mood swings, sleepiness at the wrong time, memory loss is horrible, there are many more but ........I can't concentrate or remember. There must be a lawsuit, I have seen that some are completed so why is this horrible heroin drug still on the market???????????????????????? Help. My email address is lindsayshome @live.com but they will probably blank this out. I used a lawyer for my daughter's wrongful death. Paul Harte in Richmond Hill, Ontario, maybe we should contact him to get another one going. Help. Help. Help. Sign this petition and Let's get some help.
