Coming of effexor can be really rough... Can you reduce the dose more slowly? When i came off it i opened the caps and poured out slightly more each day, then closed the caps and took it. It took me 6 months to come off it, but i couldn't tolerate quicker reduction. Another option is to start a drug with a longer half life, like prozac, and take that while you reduce the effexor. That will cover your discontinuation symptoms, and prozac is much easier to stop. I hope you feel better
