james, I found your post reassuring about no long-term side effects. I've taken Effexor-XR for about 7 months now, and it has really helped. I doubt whether I'll experience any withdrawal effects if I ever quit and will use the Prozac trick if I do. BTW, a couple days ago, I totally forgot to take my Effexor-XR and my decongestant...that night, I saw them still sitting by the computer, and the only strange thing I felt all day was that my nose felt congested! ;)
