I'm so sorry to hear this. I gather that your doctor wasn't doing regular blood tests, which at least my internist does.
Have you stopped taking it yet? I am better today. I guess it's officially three weeks. Yesterday I still felt pretty sick to my stomach all day long.
Thinking back to when I started taking Effexor, I realize that I must have been feeling symptoms of fibromyalgia and not have realized it. My friend's brother, Robert Braun, a family practice doctor let me try it cause he had lots and lots of samples in his office, and it gave me the energy that I was missing; so I kept taking it. I guess I had forgotten about the whole thing until right now. How stupid!!!!! I had back pain and was feeling exhausted; that's what it was.
I hope you feel better, get stronger, heal, and if you have to stop taking the Effexor, well, you will be okay :-). Hang in there!!
