Taper down to the point where the withdrawal gets heavy, then switch to 5mg. Prozac every other day for 10 days, then just quit the Prozac. Then you and your pdoc can decide what to try next. All your doing is taking advantage of the long half life of the Prozac to let the seratonin rebalance. At the dose of "Side-Effexor" you were on you weren't getting any norep. benefit anyhow. The Prozac D/C method really seems to help people-check it out with your pdoc.
Best of Luck,
