The thread above on Effexor withdrawal has some suggestions, including using Benadryl which you cna get without a prescription. If you haven't yet, take a look at that thread.
> > Last night was the worst possible night I could have imagined. I felt so sick and these stupid little jolts or whatever were driving me crazy. My thumb was shaking but I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not, but it was just one more annoyance I had to deal with at the time. Sleep was rotten, kept feeling like I was falling and the nightmares were just like what I had a few months ago. To top it off my ever supportive husband (not) only had the "I told you so's" to say.
> I feel awfully guilty about the suicidal thoughts I have been having these past couple weeks because I have a couple of kids. The whole mother thing makes me feel crappy when I think like that. But I don't feel as snappy today, thank goodness. Still queazy but I think I might live.
> I think I might look for another therapist but at the same time this one is also my reg. physician so I feel very guilty about telling her and I just don't know how to handle being around her after that. I guess I am not very good and this sort of thing. Thanks for your response Mila.
