Effexor

[Guest guest]

Interesting. I filed a formal complaint Medical Board against my daughter's psychiatrist for keeping her addicted to Effexor. Needless to say, it didn't do any good at all, and just made her angry at me. They found no wrongdoing.

This doctor has made no provisions or plans for her to go off it for when she decides to have children. Do they really expect a woman to continue anti-depressants while they are pregnant?

JEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ the manufactures equivalent dose for my old 300 mg Efexor (standard formulation ) = 150 mg Efexor XRThis lady actually increased my dose to an equivalent of 450 mgwhich is precisely 50% ABOVE the manufactuers maximum.It's enough to drive you mad
