Hi did you find an Australian class group...this drug near killed me..was on it for 4 yrs..a page long list of side effects not one single Dr linked to effexor...they gave me more pills..my life fell apart, I weaned off them was horrific that Dr put me on lower dose again ..I thought I was crazy and that was my life now...he increases my dosage my side effects worsened again and i took an over dose of over 140 various pills just to end it all.....a friend visited & saw me taking it when I got out of hospital...was the only way I realised what this drug had been doing to me for 4 yrs...had she not visited me I honestly do not think I would be alive today
