In reply to Effexor Withdrawal and Irritability, posted by jerz on May 1, 2001, at 22:38:41
YES! I am down to 37.5 from 300mg. Still having a hard time. I have definitely been experiencing irritability (worse in the morning), mood swings (unpredictable, but not violent. Mostly just going from energetic, determined to stick with it, to very sad - all in the same day - thankfully not every day)and still feeling like I have the flu. There are days though that I feel very mentally alert and happy. I try to stay focused on those days and just keep on going.

I'm finding that both my 14 year old daughter and I are going through this (we have both been Effexor free for 8 days (yay!) after weaning over a 2-3 month period. I would chalk mine up to perimenopause :) but my daughter's mood swings seem worse.
