Nope -- I stopped Effexor in large part because it *had* pooped out on me, and had a pretty horrible time of it. The withdrawal happens because our bodies become used to having the medication in our systems, so any medication which stays in our systems for a longer time -- that would suggest that it kinda tapers off more slowly -- will likely cause less withdrawal than those which are quickly eliminated. Celexa has a much longer half life than Effexor, so the withdrawal is likely to be much milder.
Hope that helps.
