Have you thought of Prozac? It has a much longer half-life than the other SSRIs and Effexor and so stays in the body longer. Therefore you don't get the withdrawal effects that are common with other antidepressants. I successfully came off Prozac last year without any withdrawal effects at all (I still had to taper it though).
Another thing you could try is to take an SSRI or maybe Effexor, then - when you are ready to come off the drug - switch straight onto Prozac and stop the SSRI/Effexor that you are on. Then just taper the prozac.
I found Prozac really easy to come off without any withdrawal problems at all.
Good luck!
