I guess its hard to say if its a withdrawal thing or just an underlying, and now untreated, depression.
I have been depressed for as long as I can remember so I know that my depression will return if I go off of drugs (I have tried that before).
Hopefully your depression will go away over the next few weeks. If it doesn't, do not hesitate to resume antidepressant treatment.
I have never tried Effexor, but I know from a lot of research and reading people's experiences that it is a very safe and very effective drug. But if you don't like it and your depression returns, try a different antidepressant. I like my combination of Lexapro and Wellbutrin XL.
