When I came off effexor I took benedryl for the horrid symptoms you are describing (quite common) and it helped a lot.
The really bad stuff only lasts a few days, then you will probably have a couple of weeks of rebound depression.
Seems like no matter how slowly you taper off this drug, when you go off completely it hits hard. Try and stick it out. Take benedryl and take some days off.
