The nightmare of effexor.

Canada

I've been on Effexor; 225 mg per day; since shortly after it's introduction to Canada several years ago... and it has worked very well for me. However recently I began to hear horror stories about known side effects which were never revealed to the consumer... and the inability seemingly, to go off this medication without suffering nightmarish effects. Can anyone enlighten me further?

My doc had me taper off of Effexor gradually over about a month and the withdrawls I had were minimal. As long as you don't quit it cold turkey tehn it's not too bad.
