All I know is that stablon and a conventional antidepressant have been combined before. They do not necessarily cancel each other out, since their effects are much more involved than simply what they do to serotonin.
You are kind of in uncharted waters with this one. Personally I do not see why you could not do a cross taper. If it were me I would just be cautious and respectful of doses until I had a better feel for it. And realize that the whole time it is realistic to expect weird stuff from effexor withdrawals and start-up side effects.
