In reply to Effexor withdrawal - Extreme Agression, posted by Doloris on Tuesdays on June 25, 2004, at 0:07:56
I cant believe how releived I am to hear, that Im not some psyco!!! The last two weeks my husband has been trying to get me to check myself into a psych ward.
I have been taking 300mg of effoxer for over a year now, and about three weeks ago I went to my doctor complaining about feeling more depressed then usual (probebly hormonal). So the good old doc perscribes 300 mgs of wellbutrin as an add on to my dose of effexor. My husband and I then decide we want to get pregnant again, and so I go cold turkey off the effoxer.
The last week and a half Ive been completly psycho and this started happening after the electic shock crap and nausea and all the awful phsyical withdrawl started to go away. I have two daughters, which I never yell at, infact my husband and the rest of my fam- think i am too easy on them and that I need to be harsher on disipline with them. Now all I do is yell at them constantly, they cant even look at me wrong or else!!! My husband, well thats a whole other ball park. He better not even breath wrong or stand to close (that will get us another baby real soon). If I see one little thing out of place in my house I start to panic and throw a huge tandrom. My husband put a loaf of bread in the freazer today and I wanted it fresh, I didnt want to have to thaw it. Man,I just about left him over that. I almost in a rage wanted to stab my 2 year old with a butter knife, for pulling something out of the pantry. It freaked me out, my children are way to important and precious to have to deal with mommys psycho-ness. So I made an appointment with my doc tommorrow, then I came online to see if anyone else has the same problems. Thank God, Im not the only one! otherwise I would be admitting my self soon to the psych ward. I cant wait for this to pass and see what the doc can perscribe to help. I am talking sedatives for panic attacks and that seems to help my mood a bit. (not fun to be drugged up all the time either.) Good luck to all of you.
