> Cold turkeying off Effexor is not a good idea. You will get horrible withdrawal symptoms for quite a while and quite possibly have to restart it just to end the withdrawal. You need to taper off your use slowly to minimize symptoms and give yourself a chance to end use successfully. There are guides for tapering you can find here and elsewhere on the net. Be well.

I could be wrong, but I get the impression that once triggered by abrupt discontinuation, the withdrawal symptoms tend to persist for a longer period of time than they would if one were to taper the drug gradually.
