Meant to include this in my last post here from the email from my friend:
"Effexor's half-life is so short that skipping a day is exactly like going
cold turkey every other day. It's an awful experience for such obvious
reasons, and it drives me nuts that it's the standard recommendation from
GPs to withdraw by skipping every other day, then every 2 days, etc. This
last time, I never skipped a day — I just took a little less each day until
I got down to around 15 granules, and then I was able to stop with no
withdrawal effects at all."
No wonder you are so miserable.

And here, finally, is one other friend's bit of advice about Effexor withdrawal:
"I opened up the capsule, and each day took out one more granule than the day before.
There were around 200 granules in the capsule, so it took me the better part of a year."
Turns out I knew 2 people who had withdrawn from Effexor.
