Good Morning!
Thank you for posting the article. I read it and found another article more specifically for Effexor:

Interesting, too.
Have a great weekend!

Best to ask a psychiatrist - but it's not unheard of - it depends on whether the ingredient causing your discontinuation symptoms is the serotonin or the norepinephrine....if it's both or just serotonin - the prozac might help.. .As an SNRI, Effexor works on both chemicals - while Prozac is an SSRI....but prozac, zoloft etc seem to be easier to taper from.
