I am just now starting to try to conceive (ttc) and have been advised to come off Effexor during pregnancy (my gp -- also an obgyn -- suggested Zoloft as a better alternative, also for breastfeeding). I sympathize MIGHTILY about the Effexor withdrawal symptoms, as I am suffering very much with them! I would have your wife talk to her ob/gyn as soon as possible -- they generally have a lot of experience with this situation. And then taper! otherwise she'll really be miserable.
Best,
Louisa
