You shouldn't have to be so sick!!! Can't you ask your doctor to let you go slower in withdrawing from the Effexor or to at least prescribe Prozac for you so you don't have such awful withdrawal symptoms? There are plenty of posts here about Prozac's usefulness for this purpose. It gives your neurons what they're craving in the short-term. Then going off of the Prozac is very easy because of its long half-life. Wellbutrin isn't going to help any as it isn't a serotonergic. I'm going off of Effexor VERY SLOWLY and I've had mimimal problems so far. There's just no need to suffer as much as you are.
