Wish I'd known about this a while ago. One of your links says patients on Venlafaxine should not be under 18 years of age. I was prescribed it when 16. Isn't that a great indication of competency within the medical profession?

They can prescribe it for under 18's, but it is only supposed to be in special circumstances. I'm not sure what the Canadian regulations are. But truth be told it's rated as one of the most effective so I imagine Doctors used it more than they should have. I was prescribed it at about 14. There's some horror tales about it though, A girl died from it over here a year back, one 75mg tablet caused her to have a heart attack I believe.

Doctors are notoriously unwilling to mention all the side effects without being asked (and sometimes despite being asked), for any kind of drug, so it's kind of up to the patient...

... This isn't a personal attack or anything Saber Cherry but I have no idea how to respond to that
