I feel lucky that I was only on it for about 32 days. There are people who are taking Effexor and find that it works well for them. It did for me, too,in the beginning, except for extreme tiredness. However, those who have not experienced withdrawal from Effexor do not realize what's in store for them.
For an answer to your question, I suggest that you spend some time reading what has been written by signers of a petition at www.petitiononline.com/effexor/ . Don't do anything drastic until you are better informed. If you decide to discontinue the drug, make sure you have informed, supportive, loving people around you who will help you get through it.
