Thank goodness I found this web sight. I have been taking Effexor xr at 75mg for nearly four years. I have made several attempt to wean myself off of this drug, but with so many demands on me, such mother, wife, employee, caring for aging parent, I just always ended up going back on the drug because I couldn\'t function at all while trying to withdraw. I just figured that it would have to wait until my children were grown and many other things were different so I could just drop out of normal life for a few months to deal with the withdrawal. Now however, I am in a position where I can no longer afford the drug and must withdraw immediatly. I don\'t know what will happen with my job, hopefully my children can understand that mom is going to be out of commission for awhile. I am scarred, but grateful I found a place to vent, knowing that there are others like me. I agree that something needs to be done to stop the powerful drug company from tip toeing around the withdrawal issues. People and doctors need to be informed about the truth. The drug companies should think about the people they are harming not the almighty dollar. I will email your lawyer, and hope to be some help.
