Thank you for responding. I have talked to my doctor about Prozac to help relieve my symptoms. I just cannot go back on Effexor. Brain Zaps I can handle, the anxiety and mood swings and flu like symptoms with no sleep is hard for me. I will let you know what happens. Thank you for the encouragement. I really thought symptoms would have eased by now.

babydoll I was going through the exact same thing the past two weeks. Try to listen to everyone's advice on here. They really know what they are talking about!! Trust me they literally saved my life this past week. The people on here are very carrying and understanding. I was going through the same thing as you, tapering down way to fast. It took the people on here awhile to convince me I was better off to go back on to the effexor and start over again later. I know it's not what you want to do but at least think about it.
