Everything my friend has told me about her experiences with it and the experiences of others who've been on it screams "Cure worse than the illness!"

I have never heard of people having problems while on it. Just those idiots who stop taking it abruptly, cause they feel better. I know there are severe withdrawl symptoms when use is stopped abruptly.

I wouldn't even tell you to try to get off it at this point (unless it's a brand new thing for you)

Nope, been on it since spring 2005. As much as I love LPSG I am not inclined to take seriously medical advice given here.

because the hell she has described of the years she's spent trying to recover from it. "I still feel like my brain is being zapped with an electrical wire."

Yikes! That does sound horrible! I'm sorry your friend went thru that. I hope she soon finds a treatment which works.

Thanks for sharing but I am not reading that. Perhaps it will help someone else though.

Psychiatric drugs scare the crap out of me.

Then it's a good thing you don't need them. However, as someone who has been on a variety of anti-depressants since 1999 I can tell you Effexor XR is a blessing for me. It literally was the only thing that got me out of bed.
