It certainly seems that withdrawal with Effexor is worse than any other AD. That's certainly the impression I've gotten. I find it hard to believe that pdocs aren't aware of it, and if it's as common as many of the posts on the internet would lead you to believe, I find it indefensible not to inform patients before prescribing it. I think it's unfair to label Effexor a demon drug, but I can certainly understand why someone might...
