Does anyone know of any class action lawsuits against the makers of venlafaxine in the U.K.? I believe it caused me to go psychotic. I tried to withdraw from it over 6 weeks - I ended up in psychiatric hospital due to severe withdrawal. I’m now withdrawing much more slowly, but it’s still incredibly hard.

A long time ago, I took it, and I can say, the withdrawals were the worst, hands down, of any single med I ever tried to use to treat my depression or anxiety.. I felt like I could "shoot lasers from my fingertips" for at least a month. This drug seriously plays ping pong with your brain. I would highly NOT recommend ever trying it.

I would like to take legal action against the company that makes Effexor. I was advised by my psychiatrist to come off venlafaxine over a period of about 6 weeks. I had HORRENDOUS withdrawals and ended up in hospital suicidally depressed. I am convinced it was all due to withdrawal. I went back on venlafaxine. It was a highly traumatic, life altering experience. I’m now attempting to taper off very slowly, over years. Does anyone know if there’s a current lawsuit in the U.K.? Thanks.

My mother had me put on anti-depressants when I was a moody teenager - being that she was on them she thought it was depression and not just hormones.
Having taken different medications for years, I was eventually put on Effexor XR and have now been taking 150mg for 15+ years. I have thought about getting off on several occasions however the withdrawal symptoms when I have missed 1 dose are horrendous. I sleep very hard, sweat and have violent dreams then by noon I am puking. Just with those symptoms I immediately take my dose.
Effexor XR is no longer working, and probably hasn’t for a long time, but the thought of stopping is terrifying had I known about these symptoms I would have never started. It’s as if I am a drug addict.
I have been on some sort of medication for 25 year (I’m 41) and don’t even know who I am.

I'm curious about if there are any lawsuits against Effexor. In 2015 I was deployed, managed to pick myself up from the other anti-depressants I had been put on, was living a healthier lifestyle and feeling good about myself. Then the extra stress and anniversary of a friend's murder rolled around and I was put on Effexor. I had been put on about 240mg of it, because the doc said in high doses it acted as a pain killer and would help with my physical pain. I was on it for 6mo and had become a literal zombie minus the decaying skin and being undead. I had a moment of clarity and went to the doc and they didn't want to take me off of it because they said it was helping so I quit it cold turkey, as I could not be on it any longer. I was becoming a danger to myself and others simply because I had no idea of what I was doing, where I was, or anything like that.
I had wicked migraines for about a month, and now I suffer from extreme appetite problems, inability to fall/stay asleep, no energy, short-term memory problems, and my previous conditions from the other medications are worse.
I haven't had any more medications after Effexor. Even something as simple as tylenol.

Wow, googled "venlafaxon class action" because this drug has caused me MULTIPLE problems for the last year, and found this thread. As if the physical side effects weren't bad enough! I am currently weaning slowly off but, as some side effects diminish briefly, they reappear, and I'm experiencing others. No specifics here and now but gladly share in confidence. These symptoms are PHYSICAL, not mental. They are crippling. I, too, have been unable to work, to function. Only recently connected the dots. Your physician is just clueless. I am with you. Not sure how to leave contact if moderator prohibites emails. I'll try this...Sierra Hotel Echo Lima Two One Eight Two at AOL Best of luck.
