5 days off Effexor - severe anger & agitation..HELP!

[Guest guest]

Hello all....

I have finally made it off Effexor, after tapering very, very slowly.

I counted beads out (when I got down to 37.5 from 300mg) and reduced

them by only 5 every 3-4 days. Well, I'm SO GLAD to be done tapering,

but now, more than during the taper, I cannot control this ANGER that

has come out of nowhere. I am usually a calm/patient person, now I

feel like I could rip someone's head off at any given time. I lash

out at my kids, spouse, etc. I cannot handle ANYTHING.

I am scared & do not know what to do. My doctor was horrible (NO

HELP) during my Effexor withdrawals and I cannot because of my

insurance just find another one.

During the taper I did have horrendous mood swings at times with a lot

of anger, but it seems now, a week after I'm done it's WORSE than ever.

Any help? Suggestions of what supplements might help?

Right now I take Omega-3's (high level to ward off brain shivers,

etc), Vit E, Ginko Biloba, Relora & B-complex vitamins. My doc had

wanted me to take Wellbutrin during this whole thing, but I am VERY

skeptical of ever taking another med...every one I have tried either

doesn't work or takes a dump on me after working for awhile.

HELP!
