Hi everyone. I took my last dose of venlafaxine a year and half ago but I am still struggling with WD. I hope someone can offer some advice. I am experiencing extreme outbursts of rage. I have never been violent but now I get really angry and start to throw things and smack my hands really hard resulting in bruising. I am always ready for a fight and as a result my marriage is practically over. I hate what I have become. I have no tolerance. I have pressure that seems to move around in my head and is really disstressing. I become extremely stressed over small things and then feel like pressure is building up In my head. It's actually painful. I feel like I need a quick release and immediately think of suicide. I was not like this before I took venlafaxine. I feel like I'm possessed by a demon. My poor kids (2 of whom have a devastating progressive illness) watch me and my husband fight regularly now. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I feel like venlafaxine has turned me psychotic. I'm loosing my mind. I would grately appreciate feed back.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that people have symptoms in this frametime after a fast taper like you did. Good news is everybody seem to have improvments as time pass.

 

Unfortunately too, rage is quite common as a WD symptom. I didn't experience it, but many have.

I suggest you to read the story of @brassmonkey who also suffered from anger issues and is now living a great life !

Hang on, things will get better eventually.
