Hi, Gadman. I wondered the same thing too when I thought 'hey, maybe I don't need this anymore'... and I am sorta mixed about what I want to do.
When I tried to quit, I had the side affects, but infrequent as I could still function just fine, but knew the 'dizzies' were there. It was the uncontrollable hostility, which I think was brought on by the anxiety which is why I started taking these things in the first place (Paxil first).
I do feel that the Effexor is 'good' for me, but am totally greatful that folks on this site confirmed the side-effects, as well as the 'danger' of coming off that the drug companies and docs don't really acknowledge. I would have REALLY thought I had some unexplainable issues.
I would consider something else and may even ask about that Cymbalta(?) you mentioned.
