With drawal effects of effexor

Trying to get off or taper Effexor and having a though time? Seek/Give advice or share your story with the other people suffering from the same problem. I have been reading dozens of posts relating to Effexor XR withdrawal syndrome and I am so grateful to have found you all. I too have decided that I will no longer medicate myself with this "drug." After speaking to a medical professional and several others and lots of reading, I have been told this is EQUIVALENT (not similar) to coming off of Heroin. O I am 31 and have been on Effexor for 6 years now.
