This is kind of random, but you can take a couple doses of a really long acting SSRI to help with the SSRI withdrawal syndrome symptoms. Prozac is a good one for this, it has a ridiculously long half life so it kind of self tapers off.
It took me months to come off of Effexor, not to discourage you. I had to go super slow.
Hope you feel better soon.
