Because of that, I shall wait until I see my pdoc in a few weeks.

Yes, please wait. Effexor is not a medication to mess around with. Brain zaps, severe mood swings, constant crying, it was awful. I wouldn't recommend doing it without a taper med. I took a big risk. Could've ended up in the emergency room. I would not wish the side effects of coming off Effexor on my worst enemy.
