Everyone taking any SSRI should ask their doctors about withdrawal problems and if the med they are on is a tough one to get off. In general, I think Prozac is the easiest. Effexor and Paxil are the hardest to get off. I believe there is a lawsuit against the makers of Paxil because of the terrible withdrawal problems people are having. Effexor has got to be at least as bad. I literally didn't know if I could make it through the writhdrawal. The headaches, shocks, thoughts, mania and so much more were unbearable. Doctors should be really upfront about this because they know full well the problems Effexor withdrawal can cause. They just figure we don't need to know. Had I known the problems I would have getting off it, I would have never gotten ON it.
