As a person who has weaned off Effexor I can attest it’s pure hell to wean off. I weaned off in a month and was physically and mentally sick. My doctor wanted me to go back on in a low dosage. Since I had stopped taking it I refused and paid the price. While I believe it’s the hardest drug to wean off, the truth is antidepressant’s are difficult to wean off.

Yup. I know it’s really really difficult. I have watched people try for many years. My problem with what the writer said is that they said “it’s the hardest”. I’ve been off Cymbalta for 8 months and it’s hell. This person’s assertion that one is harder than another is not a proven fact.
