In August of 2003, Wyeth, the manufacturer of Effexor, distributed a Dear Health Care Provider letter to advise all Physicians that Effexor was not FDA approved for children under 18 because it increased the risk of violence and suicide, and more imprtantly Effexor had no efficacy in this age group. As a Parent, I find Dr.s Weissman and Brent's of safety and efficacy of Effexor very disturbing. I noticed that this article lacked transparency, these Dr's clearly have a conflict of interest!!
