Long term effects AFTER withdrawing from Effexor

I took 8.5 months to wean off and was off for 4.5 months before I went back on. Quality of life got worse and worse. It did increase my blood pressure and I suffered a lot of pain after I weaned off. I read that it did suppress pain, but I do have fibromyalgia. The anxiety was horrible and the depression kept increasing. My blood pressure also seems to be going down now that I am taking it again. I'm so disappointed that I wasn't able to stay off of it, but I feel 75% better after just 2 days... I'm thankful for answered prayers because I felt like I was losing it!

This us a terrible drug for many. It is sad because the medical personnel are not .monitoring patients regularly regarding effexor . it is still being prescribed to patients. DOCTORS have to wake up -. some of their patients are suffering because they are addicted. MDs say they are dependent. If you are the patient- there is no difference.
