ScullyCat, you're only going to have withdrawls if Effexor doesn't work for you or your want to try life w/o Effexor. I had no complaint with it except for finding out that it causes, or can cause high blood pressure. My BP is sky high so that's the only reason I'm getting off it.
Yes, when you open the capsule, you do want to put it with some kind of food. I'm not taking anything right now. I've not heard yet of someone completely getting off Effexor and stating how long it took to end the effects.
If you are concerned about needing to get off of Effexor, I would suggest you start now - before it REALLY gets into your system.
I'm curious as to why nobody has been concerned about the high blood pressure issue.
