Effexor is not addictive -nor is any other antidepressant. Experiencing withdrawal symptoms doesn't instantly mean a drug is addictive. Being addicted means becoming tolerant to the drug and needing more and more to achieve the same effect and/or avoid withdrawal symptoms.
This doesn't mean, however, that the withdrawal symptoms aren't horrible. They can be dealt with, though and. . .they will pass!
