I started taking effexor and was only on it for a week or so and ran into some bad anxiety and other horrible symptoms. So I stopped taking it immediately not knowing the hell that was about to come. I dont know why my doctor let me stop cold turkey!! I\'ve been through the worst withdrawl of my life, severe mood swings, suicidal thoughts, crying on and off all day, severe rage and anger in me, anxiety that would kick anybodys a@!,chest pain and other pains, restlessnes and coming out of your skin, irriatability and snapping at everyone over the smallest thing, cursing and smashing things, the list still goes on. I just wanted to inform people that these are some of the things you can experiance. It\'s really scarry but I was told it will get better slowly. As for me things got a little better. I\'m still on this high you cant even imagine and its not a good high. I have severe insomnia and hope releif for that comes soon. Please dont give up it wont last forever and we will all get through it with the grace of God. hang in there exercise for the rage and anxiety,speak about your feelings always or write them out on paper,get youre support systems lined up and keep away from stressful situations. Any advice for me Id love to hear from you. god bless
