i know this effexor-hating is uncomfortable for some, but as one who is in week 4 of withdrawal, i feel fully qualified to speak from my experience: stay away from effexor if you can! i have never been so sick as i have been this past month, and the doctors for the most part don't want to believe it's withdrawals from effexor - although they have no other suggestions or ideas for what is wrong. it's incredibly ignorant!
on-the-wave may have some harsh words that are hard to hear, but i have to support what has been said.
this is not a drug that anyone should take with out experienced supervision - and i mean the experience of a doctor who has taken at least one patient through withdrawal successfully. if not, find a new doctor who has, otherwise when you do decide to come off you will not be in the best hands.
