How long is Effexor withdrawal supposed to last?

[Hensley258]

Wrong. People post on this thread because they assume it is current.
Most people here will not scroll down thru 1000 posts to see if a person has responded to their post in this everlasting thread.

If it would go away then a new thread could be started about the exact same subject. This way the posters would not have to search a mile of old posts to get their answer or reply.

You didn't think about that did you?

Exactly right Hensley,

It's out of date, irrelevant and has bad information on it. Plus, as you infer, what idiot will even bother to read the 200+ posts just on THIS thread? No one. STOP POSTING  ON THIS PLEASE ALL OF YOU.

I tried a while ago to get people to move on but they just keep posting here. Meanwhile about 1 or 2 a day post their own thread on Effexor and NONE of these people ever respond. I do and I've seen you respond to them too.

They are the current ones asking for help and reading this is not helpful, there's way too much of it.

Please, give it a rest those that resurrect this over and over again. Hensley, I'll even nod to the non existent God if they do stop!! Else just another scream of frustration.

MH keeps the old threads alive by linking them to keywords like Effexor, so that is why people keep hitting the old threads with new questions. This old thread now is on 2 pages, so they should delete this second page of posts so people don't waste time scrolling, + they should make the old thread inactive.

Like you said, I see it as counter productive on our forum because most people that post on it do not read the "start date" and these poor people never get an answer to their question.

There is also the matter of old out dated info regarding Effexor that people are reading about. Info that at this time could have been discovered not to be true.

I have already proposed a deletion of this thread and the start of a new one if a member should want to post a new "Effexor withdrawl" thread.

My request for this deletion as the CL here was denied on the grounds that the thread shows up on a Google search hit. Fine I say, but a new thread with the words "Effexor Withdrawl" will also bring up the same amount of Google hits should someone use those key words to search.

Maybe if enough people post back to this reply then I can go to the forum leaders again and make another request with more people backing me up.

I am not in favor of keeping this thread alive anymore, either, considering the way it pops open to this page allows the message to get out that a new thread needs to be started.
Sorry that even I had to post this today which refreshes it once again, but I am posting just so anyone thinking of posting here for advice will either start their own thread or locate another that is current.
Since anyone looking at this thread goes directly to this page 2, and all 3 of here say not to post anymore, I doubt anyone will. So it is not necessary for a bunch of posters to provide further support and refresh this thread to the top of the pile again, as I do not plan to post here again unless SOMEONE WRITES HERE ASKING FOR HELP, WHICH SURELY WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN PLEASE.

PLEASE delete this thread or somehow stop it coming to the top every single day. It truly is bad information and out of date being two years ago when it started. There are several Effexor questions every week which keeps the topic current so I fail to see why this thread is of any use at all. I understand the Google hits but without this thread wouldn't it just find all the other Effexor threads?

I'm for deletion or whatever is needed to push it off the front page.
