I had no withdrawal symptoms when I stopped Effexor cold-turkey. In fact, I've never had withdrawal symptoms stopping any of the gazillion meds I've tried. I didn't even have withdrawal symptoms when I stopped my long-term 1/2 bottle of vodka per night habit cold-turkey! But this isn't bragging by a long-shot. The down-side is that my "weird" (that's what my Pdoc calls it) neurochemistry has made it extremely difficult treating my atypical depression. My drug reactions, non-reactions and side-effects don't make any sense. The trial-and-error aspect of prescribing is a real guessing game for my doc and me. But we won't give up!
