>>Effexor is horrendous to come off for some people and I was one of them, it was pure hell on earth and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I personally think it should be banned but on the other hand it has helped my sister greatly.

It's a good drug for people who don't respond to SSRI's. I knew fully about the drawbacks of Effexor when I started taking it, but I was so depressed that I felt it was the lesser of two evils....Also, if you withdraw with your doctor's assistence, I think it's possible to have a relatively good withdrawal. I think taking Prozac for a few weeks to come off Effexor is a underutilized strategy. Effexor has a very short half life and Prozac has a very long half life, so it makes for a smooth transition and withdrawal.
