I tried Effexor for a few months and had to stop it. Fortunately, I did not go through any of the more severe withdrawal symptoms that some describe, although I did suffer from the worst headache and body aches I've ever had which lasted for weeks.

I too have found that doctors have opinions as to what should or should not happen with a drug that are based on what they've been told or read, not on empirical observations. What needs to be done is to give a skeptical doctor a good dose of Effexor (or any other anti-depressant) for a couple of months, and then take it away from him. Watch how fast the withdrawal syndrome gets reported in the medical literature !
