5HTP, L-tryptophan, or St. John's wort should not be taken while still on Effexor, I believe you were on 225mg Effexor for 10 years; when you are on Effexor for a long time, it is also stored in body fat--those stores may be why the 5HTP made you ill.

I am sorry that your husband is not supportive. I was only ever on 25mg of Effexor and I experienced (and occasionally still do) extreme anxiety and agitation after weaning off. Effexor is a powerful drug that really messes with brain chemistry; if you're one of the ones to experience withdrawal symptoms, it can take some time to get over--months, not weeks.

Please keep working with your doctor. I don't recall that you said how much Prozac you're on, but perhaps, it needs to be increased, or a different medication (Valium?) used.

I did a lot of walking around our block for a while. I'm going to echo @kbmayo here--watching gentle TV/movie comedies (nothing frenetic), reading cozy mysteries (nothing too graphic), light gardening and dining and playing board games with friends as well as working provided distraction to keep me from noticing my symptoms. Hobbies, Sudoku, or crosswords could work, too. Getting natural light to your eyes is beneficial. I had to be careful about minor key and atonal music (really set me off). You can click on my name and see what supplements also helped (but you probably want to stay away from L-tryptophan for now).
