What is the best way to get off Effexor? I've tried weaning myself off it but end up with horrible side effects: hotness and ringing in my ears, tremors & spasms in my mid-section; absolutely horrible negative ideation (up to and including ending myself just to stop the symptoms). I've tried spacing out my doses so that I take fewer and fewer over a longer period of time but still end up with the horrible withdrawal symptoms.

Please help.
