Hi Natalie:
I am so glad I found this forum. I am going to email the Attorney you mentioned about Effexor. I started taking it about 2 years ago for anxiety and I have never felt worse! I have gained approx 50 lbs, feel lethargic, don\'t give a sh*t about anything etc. I am weaning myself off too. My new doctor reduced my dosage to 75 mg and I am cutting those in half. This is the worst damn drug. If I had been told or had done some research on the side effects and withdrawal symptoms I probably would not have agreed to take it. I, of course, thought my other doctor knew what he was doing. I plan to start using homeopathy again to deal with the anxiety as it helped me control it before. Please email me as I would love to have a support group as I am withdrawing from this. Thanks for the posting.
