annie414
I have withdrawn from 300mg effexor over 2 months, I am so depressed and thinking of going back on it.  Is this advisable?

I have tried to get off Zoloft 3 times.And after a few days/weeks I went right back on.My doctor said its fine to do that. But you need to check with your doctor first.

Only you and your Dr can decide what to do. I've been on many antidepressants and found that Effexor was by far the hardest to quit. Just my opinion. There are several other meds available that you and your Dr can choose from. Can I ask why you decided to stop this med?
