Withdrawal blows even for small doses

I stopped taking Effexor by opening up my 75mg capsules and dumping out half. I did this for about 4 days, and figured I'd be cool. The first day without it since May, I felt amazing. But as the day wore on, I felt this strange sensation where my body would feel asleep for a split second whenever I moved. Somebody else described this as feeling their brain move inside of their cranium, and that description seems to work for me, too. It sucks.

I talked to the GP who prescribed it, and he said NOTHING about any withdrawal effects, and nothing about my homemade method of quitting the drug. However, as my symptoms are worsening, so is my anger toward this son of a bitch who prescribed a psychoactive drug without ANY useful knowledge of it, besides what the manufacturer is shoving up his ass. If anyone has any suggestions for dealing with withdrawal symptoms (besides other drugs) or can let me know how long to expect these feelings, I would appreciate it. As a college senior, this is sort of important. Thanks, doc. Thanks, Wyeth.
