Have you tried Topamax for the BP2? It won't in any way help you with the withdrawal from Effexor...but it might help with the other symptoms that you're having.
Topamax was given to me a while back for weight loss, not that I had more than a few pounds to get rid of, but at the time I didn't know that Effexor was the reason that I couldn't seem to lose an ounce. :-) Anyway, I read about all the things that doctors use Topamax for, including headaches, muscle pain, weight loss, and BP. It didn't have any negative effects that I am personally aware of and was no problem to stop taking.
I hope the nightmare of Effexor withdrawal is over for you really quickly!!
Hope you feel better soon!
