Yes, I have to agree that the doctor does sound like he has problems of his own. This is incredably dumb advice to give somebody especially when they're fried like this. Excercise won't help when you're in a state of HPA axis dysregulation that you are in.
Anyhow go back to a doctor (a different doctor if necessary) and simply explain that effexor is making you feel worse, explain all the symptoms that it has brought on. A good doctor (one that is well versed) will know very well that some peope don't react well to effexor.
You are going to want to try something different.
Perhaps celexa, or another SSRI will bring you relief.If a doctor mentions the incident, simply say that that "you may not know more about medicine than doctors do, but you do know more about yourself"
There comes a point where you must trust yourself more than the doctors. They're not the ones living in your body.
Best of Luck
