Effexor Suicide Cases
Effexor Suicide Cases and Information. Call Today for a Consultation.
Venlafaxine, or Effexor was introduced to the market in 1993 by the pharmaceutical company Wyeth. In the Effexor suicide cases we have seen, Effexor was generally prescribed as an antidepressant, but it is also prescribed for generalized anxiety disorders, and social anxiety disorders. As with Paxil, withdrawal from Effexor can be a very difficult and dangerous time for the patient.
The Effexor suicide cases that have come to the public’s attention, have brought forth the stories of victims and families who have gone through the trauma derived from their intake of Effexor. People, who were once calm and reserved, turned into violent individuals threatening others and themselves.

Recently, law-firms Vickery & Waldner and Feldman & Pinto co-represented 10 families who had fallen victim to the effects of Effexor. The suit filed in the Federal Court in Philadelphia over Effexor suicide cases, Wyeth was charged with the responsibility for eight deaths and for injuries towards three other teenagers. While the lawsuit does not seek any specific amount in damages, it does seek a determination that Effexor causes suicide in some patients who have never been known to be suicidal before they took the drug and a finding regarding Wyeth's "fault" for failing to warn about that risk. In September of 2004, the FDA announced that Wyeth was to put “Black Labels” on all Effexor products warning consumers about the possible dangers of taking Effexor.
