I would mention your concerns about withdrawal to your doctor and see what he has to say. Most doctors are aware of the problem and there are ways to ease the discontinuation, such as adding a small amount of Prozac (which has a longer half-life) as the Effexor dose is slowly decreased.
You also may not have withdrawal problems, not everyone does. Some people get withdrawal symptoms after missing one day, but I have missed days here and there (I tend to be forgetful) and haven't noticed any difference. I also mistakenly doubled my dose to 600 mg one day and didn't notice any difference.
