Hey there, go back to your prescribing physician and ask for about 3 days worth of Prozac. It will cut your problems immediately. The reason for this is Effexor has an extremely short half life (5 hours) whereas Prozac's is several days. It worked like a charm for me and I have been through this 4 times (twice with Effexor and twice with Celexa.) I also took over the counter remedies for the cold/flu like symptoms. It's not an easy haul but these tips help immensely!
Good luck (and yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel--and no, it's NOT an oncoming train!)
