Kate,Thanks for that article. Unfortunately, being "structurally similar" to PCP isn't elucidated in the article (as to why Effexor shouldn't we withdrawn suddenly). I also read somewhere about buspirone (Buspar) being structurally similar to haloperidol (Haldol). Obviously Haldol and Buspar have more differing actions than similar ones. This makes me curious about the mechanisms of PCP withdrawal now and how that fits in?
