I'd been on effexor for about 9 months & am just now getting off it. I've got the same "head in my chest" deal you do & found my self crying 2 days ago while listening to a Stephen King audio book (of all things!).
I'm actually angry that my doctor gave me this stuff. Psychological addiction is fine, I can understand it & get over it - but this stuff is actually physcially addictive, which is a whole other thing. I hate this stuff to no end & would tell anyone who asks to stay far away from it. If you're on it now & in a good mental place - get off it while you can - even with declining dosages , you're in for at least a week of great physcial discomfort coupled with emotional swings.
