Effexor XR: En Español!

Posted by Mentally Interesting on March 29, 2006

Effexor may be holding the #10 spot on the list of the world's most prescribed drugs but it looks like Wyeth is trying to do even better.

Yesterday they announced their "Dialogues: Time to Talk" program for Spanish-speaking patients on Effexor XR. The press release sites reports that Hispanics are more prone to depression and more likely to recieve poor health care in the United States than non-Hispanic whites.

True, but I don't think that's the only thing Wyeth is concerned with.

    Effexor is nasty stuff. A necessary evil for me. Nothing rockets you into mania quite like this SNRI. And the worst part is that because of the norepinephrine, you remember every bloody detail of your black manias and suicide attempts.

  2. I’ve heard the discontinuation of Effexor is absolute hell. I refuse to touch the stuff.

    I haven’t experienced “withdrawal” yet because I am just stopping use of Effexor. It causes weight gain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
