Hi!
Are you saying that you had severe withdrawal symptoms from the Prozac? If so, you should probably avoid Effexor becasue the withdrawal symptoms are much more intense than Prozac's. It might be a good idea for you to try an antidepressant with milder withdrawal symptoms. You might want to consider desipramine or nortriptyline. Start with a low dose to minimise side effects and increase the dose gradually under the guidance of your doctor.
Regards,
Ed.
