I don't think I could even touch Effexor now. I have had some sort of discontinuation problem with almost every single psychoactive drug I've ever taken and I have never met anyone with difficulties as extreme as this.

I feel somewhat guilty for having grown to tolerate the discontinuation of these drugs with relative ease. However, I developed a method of minimizing withdrawal symptoms through practice. I do remember the first time I tried to withdraw from Klonopin after a year of continuous exposure. The brain zaps were like lightening going off in my head. I swear I could even see the bolts.
