What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I was prescribed Effexor six years ago for migraine and depression. Initially there were
improvements but three years ago, the migraines got worse and I became "emotionless". This past April an MRI showed a number of brain lesions that weren't present in an MRI from 2002. I was alarmed so weaned myself off the drug over a two-month period and haven't had a migraine since. I'm also feeling "normal" emotionally. I'm very concerned about the lesions not only for myself but for other people who've been on this
drug long-term. Those using Effexor for "depression only" would generally never get an MRI and would be unaware that this could be happening. Can something be done about
this?
