I have gone on and off Effexor a number of times without trouble. I always started something new right away so it is debatable whether I would get withdrawal or not.

At high doses I did get what they call cognitive blunting and it did effect my driving.

Like everyone says take the taper real slow. I think the lowest dose is 37.5 and if you get non extended release you can split those in half.
