And I just stopped, cold turkey, after about two and a half years on it. I had never heard that there was a problem with stopping it that way, and wasn't very happy for a while, which I attributed to a combination of rebound depression and bad character... (OK, so I guess that says something about the psychological part of my depression -- I get that whole "if I am depressed, it must be because I *deserve* to be depressed" thing going on...)
So, I guess we're all individuals in our reactions. While the Paxil didn't cause any real problems, Effexor withdrawal was very uncomfortable for me.
Hope that helps.
