Hi jeenobeano, ask yoru pdoc or whoever will be handling your meds to give you a few days worth of Prozac once you have completely gone off the Effexor. It cuts the discontinuation effects like that! I had a slightly upset tummy for a few days (side effect of the Prozac that seemed to hit me the most) but it was nothing compared to the sickness of the withdrawal. Also, Benadryl is good for the flu-like symptoms. Yes, there is hope and there is help! Try this option and you'll probably be feeling great in no time. It worked wonders for me!
Good luck!
Karen
