I have been off effexir for over a month now and feeling almost normal. I still have trouble finding words. Memory problems intefere with my ability to speak spontaneously, as I once did. I experienced rage for several days after tapering off effexir. I experienced a cold/flu for ten days. I had rapid ups and downs. I was so irritable with my husband that I could just explode. On effixir I became complacent about my physical health and matters of due concern around me. I am back to exercising regularly and taking off the thirty pounds that I don't need. My mood is leveling out. The rage is gone. The extreme irritability is gone. I feel okay. Only a month or so and I am back to myself. It is extremely important to taper off this drug. It sounds as though it makes all the difference with the withdrawal symptoms.
