Just saw your question, wife was not discontinuing effexor xr, the morning of her death she complained to me about having sweat a lot the night before, she had to change her gown, that she felt very nautious and had thrown up several times, told me that her chest was spasming and felt very crampy, told me that if she did not soon feel better she was going to take herself to the emergency room. She asked me to take the kids to school. Upon my return I found her lying dead next to the bed.
I believe from what I have read that wife must have been in the throes of a serotonin syndrome.
Autopsy report said that there was effexor, remeron, codeine, trileptal and ambien in her system. Her death was ruled by the State Medical Examiner's Office to have been from a seizure disorder.
