I am so sorry for your loss. I have been off Effexor for 47 days and it has been an awful withdrawal. Thank-you for reaching out and trying to help others at the most horrible time in your life. We lost a brother-in-law three years ago due to suicide. We believe it was triggered by another anti-depressant because never in a million years would this man leave his family intentionally. He was loved and he was loving. I pray for you and your little boy to get through this somehow. Thank-you for caring about others safety.
