Well, I'm am now 100% convinced that the terrible anixiety, depression and anger I experienced earlier this week was withdrawl from Effexor. After a day and a half of uncontrollable anger, depression and crying, the symptoms quickly subsided. Maybe the Benadryl did help, not sure.
Yesterday (a week after quitting), while out shopping, I started to feel dizzy and weak, with sore muscles. I just went home, and today I'm still feeling flu-ish. But I'll just hold on, this too shall pass, I'm sure.
It does seem odd to me, but I guess I've read others' withdrawl stories as well, that these symptoms seem to come in waves, intersperse with periods of feeling 'okay'. My cycle, so far, seems to be every 1-1/2 to 2 days. I'll be fine for a couple days, feel bad for a couple days, then repeat. Sounds like shampoo instructions. ;-)
All this, after only 3 weeks of Effexor. I agree whole heartedly with whomever said all sr mgmt at Wyeth should be sentenced to a few months of "treatment" with their own poison!
