I'd check the Withdrawal board here, and ask the question there as well. This thread is likely to be moved there, but in the meantime, there is a lot of good information there that should help you get through it.
While I understand your neurologist's advice, I think tapering would have been a better choice, just because Effexor withdrawal can be brutal for some people. What was your dose? I don't know if it's worth trying to take a little bit just to help you get past this.
A small dose of Prozac, though, should help minimize the symptoms, and it only has to be about one pill, once, so less risk to your pregnancy.
Good luck, and have a nice baby!
