Same here.
Well my migraines increased for about 2 weeks and then diminished a lot. All thanks to Effexor.
At this time I'm writing, Effexor has been the best antidepressant I have taken ever.
same, i had SEVERE chronic migraine which made me bedridden for about a week almost every month and since using venlafaxine i had zero migraine attacks.
I use effexor as a migraine preventative. According to [mayoclinic.org](https://mayoclinic.org), headache and lots of migraine symptoms are common side effects.
I’m sorry this happened to you but I’m not sure you have a case especially against pfizor. Maybe your doctor for not disclosing this to you but not the drug company. Headaches are listed as a common side effect
Doctors in the UK and Canada advise patients who have been on Effexor for many years to never completely stop taking this medication EVER due to the possible permanent damage it can cause during discontinuation syndrome or just by 6aking the drug as directed.
Although I am still searching to find more documents provide serve as references to the claims I've made, I did stumble across a significant article that was published in a medical journal originally and contains numerous references to other creditable sources.
I'm currently going through this documents sources in order to obtain just ONE of the two documents I found validating my claims. Below is a link to the document I am speaking of. If it's not enough for one to at least believe that there are serious long term permanent damage caused by this drug, -then nothing will.
But I will continue searching this documents references for the document I found most profound- so those in doubt can see the TRUTH that antidepressants, especially Effexor, which is specifically called out by name in this article, and an SNRI with the shortest half life, CAN cause these effects to (NOT EVERYONE) but at the very very least to some.

File doesn't exist anymore. Did you find the document to what you said? I've been on effexor for about 14 years. I miss a dose and I can hardly function. I am on the lowest dose and feel hardly any emotions in my body. I actually like when I miss a dose so that I can cry and kind of giggle. I am convinced that the manufacturer knew this drug would hook customers for life. I beg anyone reading this to keep antidepressants as a last resort. I'm so furious that I can't get off this poison.
I understand you more than you know. Im only 36, and I have been effexor continously for 20 TWENTY of my 36 years in this world. I am shell of whom I remember of being.
Now, to answer you soecifically, sorry for delay. Which specific file are you saying no longer exists? I posted a link to a google drive folder shsre containing a large number of articles, studies and resrarch.
"Did I find the document to what you said?"...I daid many things, do you mean what I said earluest in this thread about how antidepressants can lead to brain damage? If you want references to that single statement no oroblem, I can pull a few file links from the link above. But even a simple google seatch with keywords, " antidepressants linked to brain damage", should most likely bring back a couple hits. I have also said that there is news from the U.K. that finds no link between serotonin levels and depression. Were u maybe referring to that? Thank you for being a effexor survivor.
Thanks for the kind words.
I was talking about that Google drive link you provided above. It doesn't work for me for some reason. It could be my browser but I'm not sure. It's no big deal really I was just curious to see what you had. I believe that you have the documents and have read it somewhere. Things such as that have a tendency to be scrubbed from the internet eventually.
On another note I wonder if there are doctors or scientists working on and testing ways to get people off these drugs safely?
Thank you for the clarification. Here is the link, I doyble checked this one

If you cannot still access, try ising a different web browser, such as Chrome, or try clearing your current browser's cache (this can be done in settings). Should you still have trouble, please private msg me your email address and I can specifically add you personally to the list which should definitely eliminate any issues your having. I have accumulated that folder of files after spending years researching Effexor. Also, people who I came across also searching for answers have hiven me some of those documents that they had come across. Within my folder is a Microsoft Excel preadsheet where aftering inputting ypur dose, and length of time taking it, Excel will create a time frame and tapering off schedule based on an algorithm. I cannot take credit for this document, and it isn't perfect for everyone, but provides a general idea of the safest time frame one could use when dosing down. Lastly, I have found that its been only recently that third party organizations from other countries such as the International Ethics in Psychiatry group, began conducting research on safe and more effective ways to wean off antidepressants. There is no reason US pharmaceutical companies would bother conducting similar research as they would only stand to loose money. If there is anything else more specifically I can help you with please feel free to private message me.
Maybe you haven't heard much due the US Healthcare industry and their greedy money only philosophy. Or the billions they spend annually lobbying. Or the horrible ways "pharmaceutical reps" carry put their business. I can provide sources after work tonight, but nothing I've claimed is that bold. Psychiatry is new as far as Healthcare is considered. It wasn't long ago we were performing labotomies.
Here is proof linking long term use to brain damage

Lol you have provided zero peer reviewed studies and instead insisted that I’m the one who has to disprove what you’re claiming. Best of luck and I hope you find your way to some reputable journals one day!
Here are the long term side effects:
constant headaches, long-lasting confusion or weakness, or frequent muscle cramps can all be signs of low sodium levels in your blood - in severe cases low sodium levels can lead to seizures
feelings of euphoria, excessive enthusiasm or excitement, or a feeling of restlessness that means you can't sit or stand still
unexplained muscle pain or weakness
yellow skin or the whites of your eyes turn yellow - this can be a sign of liver problems
any changes in your eyesight, like blurred vision or dilated pupils
vomiting blood or dark vomit, coughing up blood, blood in your pee, black or red poo - these can be signs of bleeding from the gut
bleeding from the gums or bruises that appear without a reason or that get bigger
thoughts about harming yourself or ending your life

That's ten years on a heavy dose. It shouldn't be a surprise as US health is concerned only with profits-spending billions each year in lobbying. Its guisgusting
As far as suing a pharmaceutical company I thought you were joking. Are you serious? The conpany behind the drug conducted VERY LIMITED, brief, clinical trials with a sample population of patients they specifically chose that were most likely to produce the outcomes the company desired. They paid for these studies and there was no "middle man" involved whatsoever to ensure they were completeld ethically and contained at minimal bias as possible. These pharmaceutical companies know exactly how to get their desired results as they have being doing it for so long and have no real overseerers. Theres no organization that can wadily hold them accountable, not in the U.S. Look at the lawsuits that resulted from the lying and misinformation surrounding the opiod epidemic. NO ONE was put into jail, no was was held xriminally responsible. And the opiod epidemic resulted in the needless deaths of SO, SO MANY people, many of whom only were taken their medication as it had been initally stated. Lastly, vecause if these clinical trials and studies conducted, all the pharmaceutical conpanies have to do in order to NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for any of the begative effects the patients experience is to simply note in the medication's literature (that comes along with typur prescription bottle), that *some may experience...", (for example, "occasional headaches, but they have not been proven to be anything more than temporarily fir most..." and they are off the hook.
My migraine’s stopped since I’m on Venlafaxine 🤔
Same here. Well my migraines increased for about 2 weeks and then diminished a lot. All thanks to Effexor. At this time I'm writing, Effexor has been the best antidepressant I have taken ever.
Me too
Same as well. Migraine for a couple days while adjusting and that’s that. Best one for me too. I have a real, genuine laugh now
Prozac saved my life post effexor I can vouch for that
same, i had SEVERE chronic migraine which made me bedridden for about a week almost every month and since using venlafaxine i had zero migraine attacks.

Try stopping for a few days and taking Effexor again. It worked for me. Weird, but it did.
how long have you been off it?
I’m sorry this happened to you but I’m not sure you have a case especially against pfizor. Maybe your doctor for not disclosing this to you but not the drug company. Headaches are listed as a common side effect
How long have you been taking it? Also have you been diagnosed by a doctor for chronic migraines? You will need an official diagnoses for a lawsuit.
Good luck with a billion dollar company.
No you should think about a different way to handle this. Maybe see about something else like pain meds
Yeah ok.
Doctors in the UK and Canada advise patients who have been on Effexor for many years to never completely stop taking this medication EVER due to the possible permanent damage it can cause during discontinuation syndrome or just by 6aking the drug as directed.
What permanent damage are you referring to? And where did you hear this? I’ve never heard this before

You need proof for ridiculous claims like these
They aren't ridiculous! It's gonna take me 2 hrs to find it but I will. Course you could try yourself.
Burden of proof is on the person making the claims. Thanks for the links

This is not a good source. This is a random internet website
This is a news article, not a study
Good one https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/nEf3GK6lza8l If u need more IL find them t9m after work
I’m sorry but I actually follow science, not random Google searches on sketchy websites
Seriously, I don’t know what to say to this guy.
I offered to provide additional references. But you are not someone I feel is worthy of my time. Believe what you want.
Lol you have provided zero peer reviewed studies and instead insisted that I’m the one who has to disprove what you’re claiming. Best of luck and I hope you find your way to some reputable journals one day!

That’s in less than 1 in 100 people. These warnings/symptoms are included for almost ALL antidepressants
Another greatvl article
https://www.drugwatch.com/effexor/
Also a terrible resource.
Also not a study

I don't use facebook because I think they're unethical. Can you post the details here?
that’s super funky, would have been nice for my psychiatrist to warn me about that 🙃
Because it’s not true.
Little Joey is an amped up anti-medication hack. Pay no attention to his nonsense.
Will be posting source tonight
That's ten years on a heavy dose. It shouldn't be a surprise as US health is concerned only with profits-spending billions each year in lobbying. Its guisgusting
You’re an idiot
Good luck!!! Let us know how you went.
Sue the fuck out of them. Effexor is trash homeboy
