In reply to Side effect with Effexor, underlying rage?, posted by Dysfunk on December 20, 2002, at 21:53:37
Hi Dysfunk,
I too, had the exact same problem with Effexor. I would have fits of rage over stupid little things, and I would especially rage at my husband.
It really was out of my control. But, after a while that seemed to pass, and then I began to gain weight and get extremely tired from effexor. I kept talking about my diminishing energy level. It just wasn't the right drug for me. But, I must say it did help with the depression, but I became too tired to enjoy anything. The highest dose I reached was 225mg. My current pdoc said that those side effects were from too much drug in my system. (toxic effects).
Hope this gives you a little more insight.
