I have not gone off of effexor, so I have no idea how off-kilter you are. I have, however, made the decision as to whether or not I was capable of driving due to drug effects several times.
For some time I took xanax. Even on a low dose it completely knocked me out. It was absolutely out of the question for me to drive after taking it
Also, when I was on increased drugs to control a mania last spring I arranged ways not to drive because I was a total space cadet. For god's sake I could barely walk. But walk I did.
Depending on how debilitated you are, it IS possible to get a ticket for "driving while impaired" even though you haven't been drinking (at least according to my dad, who knows someone who got such a ticket because of med effects), so I would suggest erring on the side of caution.
