sign the effexor petition.

my contribution:

My three years on Effexor were a nightmare of anxiety, sexual dysfunction, mania, and sleep deprivation. Even with the help of Prozac to counteract withdrawals as I tapered off the drug, I experienced a long period of vertigo, migraines, and panic. No one who is being treated for bipolar or depression should have to suffer MORE from the drug that is supposed to bring relief. Shame on Wyeth for not fully disclosing the risks.

i've been on effexor for over a year...if i miss even just two days of taking it, i get so sick...horrible headache, dizzy, nausea, its awful. I worry that I won't be able to stop taking it.
I'm sorry for what you had to go through.
