I've never been through Effexor withdrawal but my Lexepro withdrawal was nearly as bad as me on the stuff.Anyway, I got much worse and the anxiety was horrific; you explained it well.
The thing that got me through (besides crying and weeping on the floor) was taking Xanex. Could you ask for a benzo? it will DEFINITELY help the anxiety part of the withdrawal and bring a little peace/comfort to your mind.
I also took 2 Benadryl at night and it helped me sleep. I read it was helpful in withdrawal from SSRi's (benadryl) so it may help you as well.
