Hallo Kiki! Welkom op IAWP! Heftig verhaal maar je bent hier op een goede plaats! Misschien heb je de Nederlandse vertaling ook gelezen, deze is van mij dus ook in NL sta je niet alleen.

The moderators will chime in soon without doubt, but I can tell you right now that Efexor is one bitch to come off and swalloming the other day or alternate doeages is not the way to do it. THe symptoms you describe are definately WD, although it is also not strange to feel anxious and depressed after what you had to endure in life.
These pills, however, are slmost never the solution and the knowledge in the medical community is close to zero. Gettig off must be done very slowly, with very gradual decrease of the dosage. In the case of Efexor, counting the granules appears to be one of the options.
