I advice you to take Prozac 20mg for a few days then stop.
I did it several times and it made the trick
You see,Prozac is a very very long acting serotonergc drug,and Effexor is a very short acting serotonergic(and noradrenergic) drug.Serotonin is the problem,and Prozac self tapers itself.
Exactly like switching from Xanax to Clonazepam or Valium to wean off...same method
Bst luck and dont worry too much,and if you still after few days or weeks hve a slight problem you could have another prozac for a day,but in the end it will go away (I did this mthod several times)
