This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Get him/her off the Effexor right now. It is addicting and ruins one's life.
Read the posts on this here on the forum. Fiorinal, Xanax, Effexor, and venlor.
Describe what symptoms got him on it, and we will try to help. Blessings, Sabra

The remedies to take for grief is IGNATIA. Once dose three tims a day. Buy the potency that is available. Prefer medium high like 1M, but hardly ever find unless ordered.
SEPIA is another remedy but more of a woman with sad tears.
I would flush the pills down the toilet. I am rather mean when a life is at stake.
Get mad and yell at him, call him names, get him to fight, just as long as it is not physical. It is called tough love.
Somehow you need to get to him even if it "seems" rough. Whatever it takes to break the inertia he is trapped in.
Get friends together, tell them what I said. Each one could stay with him for two hours, refusing to leave and refusing to let him have the pills. It will work, but takes a bunch of caring people to do it. It may take a week or more. I feel sure with all this people activity he won't last, and will wake up.
Drag him out to lunch, even if it is in the car. Under the tree in the front yard.
Find someone with a motorcycle and take him for a noisy ride.
Take him to a fair and force him on a "safe" ride.
DO NOT go to a pool or beach. Blessings, Saabra

I myself have been taking seroxat for 2 years and have found it to be very beneficial despite what the media and many forums would lead you to believe. I also understand the withdrawl symptoms encountered from a friend of mine. There are two important points i think that are relavent to taking SSRI's(seroxat)/SSNRI's(effexor). First that you should only take them when you have no other real choice including when other choices are/have been ineffective. I had to start taking it when i was suffering from SAD especially associated with work. Consequently i could not continue to work as my anxiety disorder was so severe. Secondly the statistical evidence shows that people who recover from depression that take an anti-depressant are many fold less likely to relapse into depression over a 5 year period than those who don't take anti-depressants over the same 5 year period.
The symptoms your partner seems to suffering from, by way of your decription, sounds like depression and is nothing to do with effexor. Effexor from my understanding is a very effective anti-depressant, with few side-effects. Effexor takes between 2 and 4 weeks to become effective.
There are many factors that affect a persons depression. Has your partner suffered from depression, general unhappiness, for a long time. What is your partners age? If your parnter has suffered from depression then what were the causes of depression before?
Another option is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which has been proven to be effective against depression/anxiety disorders, opposed to freudian psychotherapy which has little evidence of long lasting benefit, although shouldn't be ruled out.
The thing that i should stress the most is that Effexor is very effective in treating depression. Your partner may recover without it and without CBT. However there is a probability maybe large, maybe small that he will relapse into depression in the future. Effexor could be a potential permenant cure if taken, somewhat undesirably, for the rest of his life. Bear in mind that it can not only be a cure to his present situation, but can radically improve his quality of life. As i said i have been taking seroxat for 2 years but i have suffered from depression since the age of 15 and have now been given a quality of life that i have not experienced for a decade through taking seroxat.
