Dear Margie~
I agree with Kara's post 100%. I too was able to withdrawl slowly from Effexor, by tapering down my dosage. The key here is, you have to take it slowly if you choose to go off Effexor, and follow your Dr.'s advice. I didn't taper to another med.,but I imagine that Kara's right, and it would make the withdrawl easier.
I did go back on Effexor some months later, but not due to any lingering effects of the med.....Just a personal choice. The med. works really well for me.
As Kara said, you can read some other posts on the board to help...Another poster is currently sharing her withdrawl daily, and she's doing great.
Best wishes to you,
Faith~
