>Call your doctor and ask him for a few weeks supply of Prozac.
You probably don't need a few weeks' worth as Prozac has an EXCEPTIONALLY LONG (several days) half life. That's the whole idea behind taking it (Effexor's half live is about 5 hours.)
I only took 3 pills and was fine. Also, I recommend Benadryl for the flu-like symptoms.
You'll get through it. It's rough but you WILL be over it eventually!
