Coming off effexor was hell for me. I had terrible discontinuation syndrome - physical flu like symptoms, shocks, anxiety, and crying all the time over the smallest things. I had to wean down very gradually, and it took me 6 months. I couldn't tolerate decreasing by 37.5 like the pills come in, so i had to crack the capsules open and pour out gradually more each day, by just a few grains. It was terrible.
