Please copy and send to WYETH LABS if you are addicted to EFFEXOR

[Guest guest]

Good Lord Frank. I had a hell of a time getting off it, as noted by my

psychiatrist. Addiction never entered my mind. However...just yesterday in

my Hep C group, someone asked about it. I told them to stay far away as

possible. Just forwarded this to the group.

Thanks for this, and for everything you do!! Been busy all night trying to

get through this list and a couple others.

I just hope you are not over-doing! Take care of yourself first.

I'm going to bed.
