Yes - Effexor can be sheer hell to withdraw from. With it's long half-life, Prozac's elimination from the body is slower than other SSRIs - and so some people switch to Prozac when withdrawing from other SSRIs as the withdrawal problems are less severe. However you still need to taper the drug.
Where this is true with Effexor and Prozac I'm not so sure. I suspect so, but you would need to research it or post a separate question on here.
