This petition is to give a voice to those children diagnosed with autism whose mothers were taking Effexor at the time of pregnancy. At worst, our children were deliberately poisoned, and at best this equates to forced medical testing on our babies. This petition is just the first step to organize the families that have had this experience. In the numbers lies the proof. Let's stop poisoning our children, and go after those who profit from it.

    • I was told effexor was safe for use during pregnancy. It was linked with his infantile seizures and he now has autism.

    • My child was recently diagnosed with autism at six years old. I took effexor for six years before I got pregnant and asked specifically if effexor would affect my child. The doctors assured me effexor had no ill effects during pregnancy.
