Are you sure it makes sense to subject yourself to a protracted period of such an intense withdrawal syndrome? It seems that the more abruptly you discontinue Effexor, the longer the withdrawal symptoms last. The people who report symptoms lasting for months are the ones who stopped taking Effexor "cold turkey". You are much better off tapering from what I have observed.
Who knows? Perhaps you are doing exactly the right thing for yourself. Hopefully you'll get through this thing soon.
Good luck.
