Re: I have lawyer for effexor class act

I am a nurse and have been on Effexor xr 225mg per day for over one year, I tried to get off of it and have never felt so incapacitated in my ntire life. Gait disturbances, electric shock sensations, dizziness, nausea, complete insomnia, and night sweats. All of this after only 72-96 hours from the last dose. The true crime and travesty is that consumers are not informed ahead of time from their Doctor and Wyeth only recently started printing the withdrawal symptoms on their inserts...which most people don\'t have access to anyway. I would like very much to be involved with a class action suit against Wyeth. Not only is their product outrageously priced, but if you try to stop taking it, you\'re crippled to the point that you cannot work, drive, take care of your children etc.. from the withdrawal symptoms. Wyeth has insidiously turned trusting consumers seeking relief from depression into drug addicts that are forced to take their product. Personally I worry more about having enough Effexor than about having enough to eat. Oh, and I am back to taking the Effexor XR. I found myself at work crying because I felt so bad and one of the MD\'s I work with told me to restart it... Feel free to forward this to your lawyer and contact me if I can be of more assistance. Thanks, Tracey
