Well, the best available evidence (from the World Health Organization) ranks ADs such as Paxil and Effexor as the hardest-to-quit meds, and reports here seem to concur. I don't know much about MAOIs.
Benzos rank much lower, on average, in terms of difficulty of discontinuation, although of course it varies according to the individual. So, the myth of benzos being hardest to quit just isn't supported by the available evidence, although they certainly may cause problems for some people.
