In reply to Anyone having mood swings coming off Effexor?, posted by NMichele on February 17, 2001, at 15:54:13
> I am on the end of my second week taking no Effexor at all. I went through the 3 week weaning process and now am on no medicine. I have found that I am having EXTREME irritability and mood swings.. Is this something anyone else has suffered with? How long does this last..if you know? This is NOT the problem I was put on Effexor for but it is a huge issue I am dealing with since the reduction and elimination of the medicine. I seem to have gone from the original flu like symptoms... to the dizziness... to the crying... to the mood swings...to the EXTREME irritability. Any encouragement that this will go away would be a great help!! I am dealing with a doctor who does not think there are withdraw problems from Effexor so it would be nice to hear I am not going crazy!! Thanks - NM
I am now on 37.5mg coming from 225mg. I can barely walk around I am so dizzy.This is my second day at this mg. I too have big mood swings. I don't have the patients I had on the higher dose of effexor.I guess my real fear is what it is going to be like in a few days when I'm completely off.
