Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

I have a temper, but I knew I was experiencing Effexor withdrawal symptoms when I would go from mildly annoyed/irritated to I-want-to-throttle-you/homicidal maniac in the blink of an eye. While reducing and after getting off Effexor, it takes your brain a while to figure out how to rebalance serotonin and norepinephrine.
NOTE: If you are on birth control pills, taking red clover along with birth control pills might decrease their effectiveness.

My doctor had started me on a new antidepressant Viibryd but it does not help at all with Effexor XR withdrawal. I like the Viibryd a lot but I can't be on all these antidepressants so if the Prozac helps me to get off the Effexor XR he will probably have to to stop the Viibryd for a little bit and use the Prozac to get me off the Effexor XR? It's truly not easy getting off Effexor XR and I don't care what he has to adjust just adjust it!
