Subject: Effexor works for Fibromyalgia as do most of the serotonin
reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), like zoloft.. It's not even a close
call... in most cases the difference is substantial..also, for reasons not clearly understood several of benzodiazepams also relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia and related symptoms indicative of spondy auto-immune diseases..Here's the link..
http://www.nami.org/helpline/effexor.htm
these are url's to sites which have a lot of relavence to anyone with spondy's-esp Reiter's aka Reactive Arthritis
http://www.findarticles.com/PI/index.jhtml
this is a favorite link..contains any article on any subject that is current. i typed prostatitis into search field and got 178 articles in about 3 sec..
http://www.projectlinks.org/reiters/
this is a link library of sorts..it contains a dozen links on reactive arthritis.. . not even sure who did all the work. but it was last updated over a year ago..apparently whoever did it moved on..which turned to our benefit
http://www.aafp.org/afp/990800ap/499.html
this url was discovered in late '99 and it's still oneof the best research paper ever done on Reiter's
This hyperlink to FDA Advisory Committee should take anyone interested to best site for learning about any medicine's serious side-effects; or even product withdrawl..these newer drugs have been hitting market so fast that everyone, at least in my opinion, should do a good amount of research before signing on..
