Yeah, I have heard that about effexor but I have come off it twice. Once I was on it for like 6-8 months and then the other time I was on it for 3 months. I didn't experience withdrawal symptoms either time.
That being said, I also tend to not really experience ANY type of results from the medication so that fact could easily contribute to the reason as to why I do not have withdrawal symptoms.
Your APRN should be able to help you work through it. I know my mom tapered off paxil over a six-eight week period and she struggled a bit in the beginning but it got better towards the end of the time period.
