The degree of serotonin reuptake inhibition is also a function of the dose. Paxil may have the highest affinity for the serotonin transporter (on a mg / mg basis), but some of the SSRIs (i.e. zoloft) are dosed higher.
It is thought that paxil and effexor have the greatest withdraw due to short half life. Perhaps (as mentioned) paxil and effexor produce more anticholingeric (hence rem supression). I'm not sure how the withdrawl for paxil compares with luvox.
