I was on effexor in the pass but ended up switching my medication to Ciprilex.  I was on it for about 4 to 5 years and decided to stop taking the medication. You should speak with your doctor about weening yourself off rather than stopping cold turkey.  It took me about 1 month to actually detox and it was horrible so I can relate on some level.  What are your symptoms?

Why do you want to withdraw off it?  Did it work for the 4 years you were on it?  If your really wanting to go off, you need to have your Dr. set up a withdrawal program, everyone is different, but the Dr.'s know how to get their patients off it.
Good luck, Michelle
