> Dear Mr. Essner

>

> I am just one of countless people who have crossed

> paths with your company's product, Effexor.

>

> It should come as no surprise to you that this

> product is being prescribed without regard for the

> patient, and without warning as to its side effects

> which, unless you have been here, are well beyond

> the most horrific experiences you have ever been

> forced to endure. When one decides to no longer take

> this drug, regardless of age or rate of dosage

> reduction, ones life becomes unmanageable, as has

> mine. Between the bouts with agitation, anxiety,

> nausea, and other " discontinuation symptoms " only

> recently included in your drug label, I am joining

> the movement which will tear down the barriers

> behind which Wyeth hides, and expose the truth which

> will inevitably save thousands of others from the

> traumatic experience of Effexor withdrawal and

> addiction.

>

> I strongly urge you to take one 75 mg capsule of

> your Effexor XR each morning for ten days. Then

> stop.

> Hell itself will be a welcome relief to what you

> will now be forced to endure.

>

> Now temporarily, and hopefully it's only

> temporary, disabled by the withdrawal from your

> drug, I am taking the time, with the help of others

> like myself, to personally convey my disgust at the

> way Wyeth casually fills it's pockets with billions

> of dollars at the expense of decent people like

> myself.

>

> I, and others like me, are going to put an end to

> Wyeth's blatant disregard of those who were given

> Effexor, and not warned of it's dangers. It is YOUR

> responsibility to insure that those who prescribe

> your products are informed, and that they in turn

> inform their patients. Be assured, Wyeth's days of

> profit with impunity are numbered, regardless of

> it's wealth or legal stature.

>

> Wyeth MUST publicly admit that Effexor IS

> ADDICTIVE. Discontinuation symptoms, whether from

> heroin or Effexor, in and of themselves, constitute

> the state of addiction.

>

> This is only the beginning of what you will hear

> from me, and thousands of others.

> Sincerely,
