I think I lost you there, can you explain this line for me?

  A friend of mine started taking Effexor, but then we found accounts of how it's impossible to stop taking Effexor:
  blood-curdling stories about pharmacists who'd dissassemble the pills and reassemble them to titrate the dose down,
  and who'd still be unable to get the dose to zero. He stopped in three days, before the damage was done.

Edit: Fixed format as requested.

For me, stopping Effexor after having taken it for a year was 2-3 weeks of misery. I have heard that for some people the withdrawal is so bad that they can't stay off the drug long enough for their body to finish returning to normal.

Could someone please edit this to make it not break the layout? It's a really long line and makes this whole conversation a pain to read.

Edit: thanks!
