i know the hell you speak of. i was only withdrawing from the effexor though, not all the others. you could be experiencing problems from stopping the other meds, as mentioned before, but i firmly believe the majority of it is the effexor.
it took me a total of 2-3 months to effectively wean off effexor. you do need to taper off, but don't kid yourself into believing that you won't experience any of this even if you wean off. the only advice i can give you is good luck. i wanted to die. i finally "successfully" weaned off the effexor when my doc added celexa while i weaned off. it was the easiest way to go. i might suggest holding on to the klonopin while you go through this, it helped take the edge off and prevented me from killing someone.
i also had someone suggest to me to get some type of herbal cleansing at a health store. i hear it helps to get the poison out of your system quicker.
again, good luck.
