I actually came across your channel watching Dr Peter Breggin and yourself in an interview, Peter has been a saviour for me for many years ,I have all his books. I've come off 2 other psychiatric drugs but effexor is horrendous.

Agreed! I lost YEARS of my life from Effexor and have never recovered fully. It has a five hour half-life and a history of causing something known as "Effexor Mania". It's just awful.

SSRI/SNRI's can only cause mania when starting or taking them, but cold-turkey SSRI/SNRI withdrawal symptoms can be extremely severe & dangerous as well. This is what happens: ‘Kalamazoo man guilty of stabbing man 27 times gets minimum of five years. Justin Donovan waves to family and friends after he was sentenced to prison.' - this is my son. My c/t Effexor/Lithium, Trazodone withdrawal induced homicidality to the point I had to put myself into yet another ungodly psychiatric hospital, it was my last. NO more psych drugs in my house, they've already stolen everything from me they could steal.

I did some strange things on Effexor. I was on 300mg and walked out on my wife and 3 kids with no plan and no care. Admittedly my wife deserved to be walked out on, but not my kids. I started drinking again after 11 years sober, with no care. I can’t prove the medication did this, but I know it changed me when I was on it. Scary stuff.

mania looks like a terrible bout of insomnia mixed with an overwhelming 'to do' list and piles of unfinished projects, face picking, not showering. busy doing nothing. @ 8mins.... you're killing me dude.

I have been suicidal & depressed. My psyciatrist, just started seeing him & 2nd visit today, put me on this today. I was on welbutrin, but felt no difference. Do you really think this medicine is ok for someone who constantly has suicidal thoughts? I know everyone is different, but... Reading comments, not sure this is going to be a good thing for me.

I went on Effexor and it threw me into manic psychosis. Didn’t realize I was actually bipolar and shouldn’t take an antidepressant without a mood stabilizer. Needless to say I’ll never take another antidepressant again. I’ve also had suicidal thoughts so you’re not alone. Never wanted to do anything about it just thought about it a lot. Hope you are well!
