Effexor is known for terrible withdrawal symptoms, which for me start after about three days off it. The answer seems to be tapering down very slowly, and not trying to quit rapidly. If one week at a lowered dose was OK, but then the withdrawal started, maybe try two weeks at the lower dose, 37.5 per day. Then move to 37.5 every other day for two weeks before quitting entirely.
I don't know if that's the best answer, but it's the best I can offer.
Good luck.
