This may or may not sound discouraging, but I've been effexor-free for 6 days now and it took me a total of 8 wks to "taper" off of it.I took my capsules and emptied one out a little each day,taking the same (or close to it) amount for min 2 wks, then emptying a little more out for 2 more wks.and so on. The side effects during that 8 wks were dizzyness,hot flashes,headache(bad ones),and irritability. However,during these past 6 days being on zero-amount, im only dizzy a little,and feeling pretty good.So I think I can safely say, im through, and hope I stay mentally okay.Good luck, just take your time.
