Hi CoraFree.

Have you ever had to discontinue Effexor or a SSRI when you were not taking either Trileptal or Valium?
I think both drugs might have had a moderating effect on the development of a withdrawal syndrome for you. I was hoping that we could tease out any more information as to why you should have had such a relatively easy time of discontinuing Effexor this time. Perhaps you are not the type to suffer a withdrawal syndrome.
Thanks.
