What benzo is he tapering off of, at what dosage and why? I would think if reducing the dosage of the benzo for whatever reason and if Effexor isn't controlling his anxiety, another medication would be added to control the anxiety.
At least that is the approach I would expect from my pdoc.
Maybe Effexor is not the right AD to use for him. Does he have a good relationship with his pdoc or is this a relatively new doc he saw to wean him off the benzo?
My pdoc would never let me suffer like that and if he were not comfortable with benzo withdrawls, he would or should refer me to someone that has experience in this, it is not a routine procedure and mnay pdocs do not do it correctly.
