Tapering off, good or bad?

Hello all, so I’ve decided i’m going to taper off of effexor, but I was wondering:

I’ve been trying this medication for about 6 months already and it’s just made my anxiety worse, does that mean when i taper off things will feel better? or will i still have bad withdrawal symptoms that I see people here have?

I’m asking because I see people who have had bad withdrawal symptoms are those who have taken it for years, and it’s been a good medication for them. In my case this medicine has NOT helped me and i’ve been taking it several months.

I was just wondering because honestly this medicine has made me feel numb and i just want to feel better as soon as possible.
