I've done benzo withdrawal many times while employed or in school, but when I stop the Effexor I get depressed and anxious within days.Some people crossed the river jumping to prozac or Buspar while dropping Effexor. (you can check out Angell's post just a couple of threads away:" I weaned off Effexor with Buspar...").
You could ask your pdoc if that is possible.P.S.
In my personal experience i noticed that effexor withdrawal can be particularly nasty if you have suffered from some kind of consistent stress during the last months: it might show up when you're unconvered. I' d check that out.
