Polecat. Polecats are solitary and predominantly nocturnal weasel-like animals, where the males are quite obviously larger and heavier than the females. They produce a strong musky scent from anal glands when threatened, and this is also used to mark their territories.
Effexor withdrawal symptoms can easily last two months or more, and some people don't feel back to normal even after a year of discontinuation. Because effexor has a 'half-life' of about five hours, withdrawal symptoms can develop from missing only one dose.
I have been on Effexor XR at 75mg for 2 years for Fibromyalgia. It did help at first, but not without side effects. I am now trying to stop taking it due to loss of insurance. At first I lowered down to 37.5 mg. for about 2 weeks.
