I would love to sue the company and my doctor. I was on 300 mg of Effexor XR for 2 years, I tried to commit suicide and when my husband called my doctor about the incedent, she dropped me. My insurance refused to cover anything relating to the Effexor unless the dr who prescribed it was the one handling it. I have had to ween myself off of the drug and recently starting having seziures at the 150 mg mark. I have unbelieveable muscle pain, my face has been going numb, I twitch and I have been having a very hard time sleeping due to the Effexor. Just recently, I lost my job because I have not been able to function. I had a seziure at work and I guess that was the last straw. I am now confined to the house, I can\'t drive due to the seziures and my husband is at his wits end. I am scared that he is going to leave me. All of this was due to the Effexor
