I've never taken effexor, so I don't have experience of it or of its discontuation. I think, however, it might be wise to go back on effexor, at the very least, to tell if the feelings you're having are a result of discontinuation.
If going back on Effexor doesn't help then you might consider the following. From your description it sounds like you may be having some pseudo-psychotic symptoms. I say pseudo because you are aware that you are having your paranoid etc. feelings. I'm taking a wild shot in the dark but perhaps you are schizoaffective, and might do well on an atypical AP like Zyprexa, Risperdal, Seroquel, Geodon.
Finally talk to you psychiatrist about what's happening, he/she will have a much better chance of figuring out what's going on than me, an amature psychopharmacologist :).
Keep posting and tell us how it's going.
Feel Better,
Britt
