The immediate well-being after antideperessant withdrawal is very common for me. But it has never lasted, I must say. I think that you feel very good once that you quit antidepressants because the good effects last for a while without the bad side-effects.
I think, but this is just a personal opinion, that the only kind of people who have complete remission are the one who didn't need to take antidepressants, the people who are balanced for a consistent portion of their life and then experience a depressive episode due to some stressful event. The *sane* people, I mean.
I don't in which category you fall but I wish you good luck. And beware of Effexor withdrawal if you decide do quit, it's known to be one of the worst, so you may want to consult you physician and educate yourself about it.
