Thank you for this info. I am seriously considering going into a detox facility. I’m 74 years old and cannot afford to take 2 or more years getting this f…ing drug out of my system .

I hear you; I'll soon be 71. Effexor has been altering my brain for umpteen years, as treatment for hot flashes. News flash: it did not end my hot flashes, and one should NEVER be put on this drug for hot flashes! though my last gynecologist still prescribes it. Clearly, doctors need to be educated about this drug--patients, too.
Having researched how to end my dependency on this drug for the past year, I do not know of any quick fix. If you find one, please share it. Best of luck; I hope you find success.
