I took effexor for about 9 months around 2002. I tapered off of it over a couple of weeks (I forget exactly how long), but after my last dose, only experienced any withdrawal symptoms for maybe 4 or 5 days. Mostly just a little dizziness, feeling like my head was spinning (as if I'd been drinking almost), and I believe some weird sensations that felt like little joltes of electricity through my body, but not painful. Overall, it really was not too bad for me at all. I was symptom-free up until about 6 months ago.
Good luck. :)
