My main regret concerning all of the above is that the drug's manufacturer has never been forced to compensate the patients who suffered as a result of it's failure to provide full and frank disclosure at the outset of all of the problems which, it is certain, it knew to exist. I suppose that this injustice is why I have chosen to create this page on my new site at this time - at the very least the injustice itself should be recorded as a testament to all those who suffered as a result of the lies and half-truths which they were told by the manufacturer of this drug.
Also, I would like to think that the medical profession and the various drug regulators may have learned a lesson from the manufacturer's dishonesty about Venlafaxine, but, even today, many doctors prescribe the drug without any apparent awareness of the true nature of the drug's side effects and withdrawal symptoms and (in the UK) the regulators still do not insist that all of the clinical trials data is disclosed, allowing pharmaceutical companies to continue to withhold crucial information from doctors and patients alike.
