I've been on and off Effexor for the past 4 years. Mostly on, on now. When I did go off, I had to taper it off very slowly. Are you on the XR's? I wasn't, so I could break the tabs up. I also took Benadryl, the little pink ones, to help with withdrawl symptoms....got all the way down to 12.5mg (from 150mg), before I could go off. Took almost 6 weeks! Tried Pamelor after that, which almost killed me, then went back on Effexor, as it has worked the best for me, out of all the other meds I have tried.
Good Luck!
