Yes. I know of at least one person who had a serious depression, the ass-kicking variety, and came through it with only relatively minor relapses that were controlled with meds.
She stayed on meds after feeling better for a while, which does seem to help. I don't know how long you've been feeling better and ready to get off Effexor, but leaving meds too quickly can sometimes be a less-than-good thing.
BTW Effexor itself can cause serious problems with mood during withdrawal. (Lots on this on the meds board.) Good luck to you.
