> Jimmy I see your points, but my dependence on effexor seems much harder to break then was my dependence on Benzos which I had for many years (many good years). I don't take them now, and sure it was unpleasant to withdraw, but Effexor...If I skip a day or two I want to kill myself!!

I think that everybody's different and the ability to wean one's self off of either class, benzos or ADs, depends on the individuals underlying biology and symptoms. I know people who are able to come on and off antidepressants with just minor discomfort (if any at all), and I know myself: it's not a pretty picture. It has come to the point with me where any change is dosage of any med I take affects me adversely. The only question left for me is to what degree of severity.
