Don't give up - you can get off of Effexor!! It is indeed a horrible drug (although I'm sure it helps some people). I have been helping my wife come off Effexor for months. Every reduction brings bad times, but they do end. She usually goes through the classic withdraw for two weeks (the first week being the worst). But they will go away. The only way to do it is slowly - reduce you mg's by 18.5 each time, deal with the problems for a couple weeks, adjust for the next month, then do it again.
Good luck - prayers on the way
