I had been taking Venlafaxine XR (Effexor) for nearly 6 months at a dosage of 75mg in each capsule daily. I did the cold turkey two weeks ago now and from all the research I did on the withdrawls of the SSRI I got quite worried as many described the withdrawls as 'hell like'. Throughout the two weeks that I had stopped taking the medication I have had none of these withdrawls if not opposite. I am happier, much less anxious and many more positives. From the research I gathered before performing the cold turkey I found that a healthy diet and exercise would reduce the symptoms so I started a much more healthy diet increasing my nutrient intake and started doing 1 hour+ exercise each day. The last and main reason for stopping my medication is that alot of my friends love MDMA and order very clean, pure product (84%+) from an online marketplace. Previously I tried street ecstasy in which I felt no roll but could still feel something in the pills mix most probably speed. So now that you all know my backstory my question is after the two weeks of not taking an SSRI will it be completely out of my system to successfully roll this coming Saturday? My Metabolism is also extremely fast as I have read that the time it takes for it to leave the system depends on one's weight and metabolism.

2 weeks is usually the given amount of time to be clear.

But don't quote me on that....
