Do a little research into benzo withdrawal if you haven't. I've seen that first-hand and it's bad.. One of the few withdrawals that can kill you. It's a great short term drug, but dear god that withdrawal is awful if you form a habit. Takes forever to get back to normal (if you do).
Another issue I have with psych meds is there isn't nearly enough research or support for people weaning off this stuff, should intolerable side effects happen. My ex boyfriend had problems getting his script filled once and the world was spinning while he was driving. Fun stuff. Doctors simply aren't informed most of the time from what I've seen. Fuck effexor.
