I've been on Effexor for about 2 years and take 300 or more per day. Also take Wellbutrin.
I have not had any real problems with either, and it scares the p** out of me to hear about the awful problems people have with getting off the meds. I also take 1 mg. klonopin to sleep.
I don't really plan to get off the meds, because I have been depressed for 30 years, and meds do make a difference. I may have to go with another med, or whatever, but I hope I never have to withdraw. From Klonopin, also.
I think I would just ask to be sedated for 2 weeks or something. Really scary and awful sounding.
