Hey 5,Sorry to hear about your recent problems. Klonopin is a much longer-acting benzo than Xanax. If the pdoc took you off the Xanax, it was probably for a reason, but you were on a relatively high dosage. You may be going through a withdrawal phase from the benzos, which will take a while to clear your system.
The best way to go through the phase might be to hunker down and chill as much as you can. I know - easier said than done. Sometimes the only thing you can do is turn on the TV and zone out on movies for awhile. Sounds dumb, but it got me through some hard times.
Make sure your pdoc knows your symptoms and how hard things are. It might possibly be helpful if you were on a more serotonergic medication along with the Effexor, Lamictal has been discussed here a lot.
Keep us posted. . . .
