Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

Since stopping effexor in March, you've been on several different ADs? That seems unhelpful at the least. It takes a while, like weeks, for medications to take effect, so changing them so often is going to cause lots of instability and send you into withdrawal from all of them. What are your symptoms now? As it anxiety/depression or is it withdrawal from the multiple meds?

A week in my symptoms intensified greatly, that I felt like I was going out of my mind, restless, agitated, anxiety. I tried to get through that and I couldn’t, so I would stop and two days later I was better. Then a month being on nothing I was needing something again. My PCP is definitely not helping.
