I certainly agree that stopping any psych medicine cold turkey without discussing it with your doctor isn't a good idea. And I also agree that Effexor should be tapered.
But I did taper, and I still got side effects. I was even opening up the capsules, dumping out half and taking it every other day. And I think that's true for a lot of people. I'm glad you're having relatively few side effects, though. I hope it continues through till you're completely off.
