I have talked to an attorney about starting a class action lawsuit but have not heard back from him yet. I have been on effexor for about three years. I was up to 300mg/day. I\'m down to 150mg/day now and can\'t seem to get any lower. I,of course, get all the same symptoms as the rest of you when I miss a dose. I cannot stand the light trails when I turn too quickly. Unfortunately, the crap is killing me. My blood pressure is now uncontrolled. I had no hypertension when I started this medication. Now I take large doses of two blood pressure medications and my bp was still 165 over 105 today. My heart has two slightly enlarged chambers as well as an enlarged aortic base. When I say this stuff is killing me I am serious. I can\'t quit it without attacking my family, which is very uncharacteristic for me. If you get a lawyer to take this please count me in. If I do then I will notify all of you.
