I tried to go off of Effexor three years ago and was unsuccessful. The withdrawals were too intense and I was becoming almost catatonic. I started going off of it again last week and this time I am still having a lot of symptoms of w/d, but I am more focused on my daily, minute by minute walk with the Lord, and its helping me to deal with the effects of w/d. I can't really explain it, but I recommend it highly. If you know Jesus as your saviour, let Him help you get through this junk. Sometimes just a reminder that we have Him is enough of a spark to get us to reach out. Try not to shut off your common sense; I know its hard right now, but try. I'm praying for everybody who is on Effexor and trying to go off of it.
