I am on Effexor for depression, and I was recently denied my refill at mental health because I accidentally missed my appointment.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I'm sorry you had to go thru that. I went thru a similar experience with @ Cymbalta. I'm sure people on this site get tired of seeing me post warnings about these drugs. People need to know the dangers
