Yep, all of those things can happen--and did happen to me although I didn't get rage as an emotion but severe depression and anxiety...lots of crying jags too. Cold turkey is brutal. You need to taper down slowly and then once off the drug completely, take Prozac for about three days. That's what I did and it drastically reduced the emotional, psychic problems...the brain zaps and that. For the flu-like symptoms I took Benadryl.
