Discontinuation syndrome versus withdrawal

I re-named the section which was labeled "Discontinuation syndrome" to identify it as "withdrawal." "Discontinuation syndrome" is a Wyeth-created term. I have some concerns that this article has been and continues to be a re-stating of Wyeth provided information only, and without an anlysis of all aspects. While I fully realize that Wikipedia is to maintain a neutral tone, I strongly believe that this terminology ("discontinuation syndrome") is and of itself negates any neutral tone to this article whatsoever.Also use it for man-power.

Thank you! Talk about it! Tell the world about the brain zaps, too! It’s WITHDRAWALS!! Plain and simple! Lady Meg (talk) 06:45, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2D structure for Venlafaxine?

Why was the image of the chemical the 2D structure of Venlafaxine removed? There is only an image of the ball-and-stick model now. Can we please re-add this. Mydriasis Aletheia (talk) 17:28, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Treating PTSD?

DID THE FDA APPROVE IT for PTSD?!
The source says: “Several pharmacological treatments reduced PTSD symptoms; moderate SOE supports the efficacy of fluoxetine, paroxetine, and venlafaxine compared with placebo. Our network meta-analysis (33 trials; N=4,817) of Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS)-measured PTSD symptoms showed no differences in effectiveness between medications with at least moderate SOE of efficacy (fluoxetine, paroxetine, and venlafaxine) (low SOE for no difference).”
That’s compared to a PLACEBO!! Whoopie! So it doesn’t really do much at all for PTSD! If you’re gonna use a source, maybe put in all that it actually says! Thank you! Lady Meg (talk) 06:43, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
