I have been on Effexor for at least 4 years and am now taking 225mg per day. I was not aware that it is addictive until checking on line. My doctor never told me and I wonder if he was aware. What should I expect when I begin to go off Effexor.

Although usually not for so long, I have been wanting to sleep my weekends away since he uped my dosage but didn't realize what was causing it.
