Scary story! I'm glad things turned out okay for you. Just a thought, that cold turkey w/d off .5 mg. xanax must have also added to your symptoms greatly! That amount xanax if you had been on it for any length of time, is not good to c/t off, can cause all the symptoms. I once knew someone who was trying to taper off both effexor and xanax and had horrible time.
Regarding effexor withdrawal, my pdoc told me some people have a hard time and others come off it with no trouble in her experience.
