You have my support, too. Last month I posted a question asking if there were ways of medicating when Effexor stops working. So many people have suffered in getting off of it; however, there was no consensus, but I so appreciated the support I received here from others. Anyway, after a slow Effexor dose reduction down to zero, my Dr. had me seamlessly start Trintellix. It did little to dispel the darkness, but it did do away with Effexor withdrawal symptoms. Eventually I stopped taking it and went 10 days without anything. Not great but tolerable. The Dr. then prescribed Cymbalta, and today is the first day on it. I react very quickly to these meds, and I find Cymbalta is not doing much, but I will give it more time. One wants so much to have a life that flows free of darkness, anxiety, and debilitation. And to be free of anti-depressants.
