Effexor Side Effects
After a break up of a ten year relationship and a miscarriage I went to my doctor for help. Because of horrible side effects of paxil use and withdrawl I was very reluctant to take any meds for my depression.
I demanded a psychiatrist and he imediately wanted to put me on anti-depressants, I refused, but after several day I returned. I explained my fear and told him about my paxil nightmare. He said that he would never put anyone on Paxil and assured me that there were many great drugs available.
He highly recommended effexor xr. It was fast acting, did not cause weight gain, and had no withdrawl symptoms. He also said it would be a 3 month drug therapy.
Wow, he was right, I felt wonderful. I felt like I was 21 again and could handle the world. after 3 month I was ready to get off but my Dr. said a 6 month therapy is better and I will have less chance of relapse.
Well I ended up on that shit for two years and a maximum dose of 225mg. I Drank excessively, partied alot, slept little, spent money like water on unneccessary purchases, and was sexually promiscuous.
Around September, 2005 my family Dr. recommended me to stop taking effexor he told me to step down to 150mg and then to 75mg. I soon started to complain of nausea, car sickness was the best way to describe how I felt. My Dr. said it was probably due to the fact that I needed my tonsils out.
I was scheduled for removal on October 10, 2005. However after the struggle of surgery the nausea felt worse, I kept getting these strange shock type feelings in my head as well. I was sent for x-rays, and then I demanded an ultra sound. Everything came back negative.
I returned to my job of nine years and was fired due to anonymous phone call made about my conduct the past year. I at that time was in shock but relieved that I did not have to go to work feeling like shit and trying to hide it.
I spent my days wondering what was wrong, could it be cancer? I went on the internet and looked up effexor and was amazed to see how many people have sufferd from this.
I am now jobless, my nausea has subsided but I am now suffering from extreme anxiety, crying spells, and bouts of anger.
I am now with out insurance and feel abandon by my Doctor's, and the drug companies that took my money. I then started calling lawyers, well unless you kill your self you don't have a case. One attorney did take time out of his day to explain to me that no one will take my case.
He gets over 30 phone calls a day from people just like me.
These drug companies are supported by our President, backed up by our goverment, juditial system, and most Doctors who are more concerned about their wallets then the people they are sworn to treat.
Who is going to help me and the thousands of people that are suffering from these nasty drugs.
