Jane - I have seen withdrawl symptoms with Zoloft™ (sertraline) and Luvox™ (fluvoxamine), as well. It seems that it happens to people who metabolize these drugs more quickly. These people possibly have multiple copies of the cytochrome-P450-2D6 gene. I believe that this occurs in about 10% of people of European descent (I could be wrong). This would explain why some people have extreme difficulty withdrawing from Effexor, as well.
