I need help
I recently posted a thread about how I was trying to come off the Effexor 150mg. My shrink reduced my dosage to 112.5. I have been at this dosage for about 3 weeks now. I have been having various side effects from racing thoughts, sweet cravings to extreme angry and irritability. I went to see the shrink again yesterday because of these side effects. He said that he would add in another drug called Buspar that he thought might help with the anger but other than that I would have to learn to control my feelings. I thought if I could do that I wouldn't need him anyway. Well, I got the medicine filled and took the first dose last night. A friend of mine and I got into an argument last night. He called me a whore and beat the sh*t out of him. I feel really awful and guilty today and called to apologize. He said he couldn't go to work because he eye was swollen shut. I feel terrible now. I didn't post this some someone can flame me. I truly need help and I know this. Something is severely wrong with me. I think I should go see a different shrink so maybe he can manage me better. If someone has had similiar experiences or outbursts on anti-depressants please advice. Thanks so much.

Re: I need help
Yes, go to a different shrink, especially someone who does thought energy synchronization therapy.
Actually, if you feel like you need it, call a crisis line and get a referral for a counselor you can talk to *today.*

Re: I need help
I posted on another thread that quite a few anti-depressants made me very violent, sometimes out of the middle of nowhere. Half the time it wasn't even anything that was a big deal-like somebody LOOKED at me funny and I attacked them. It WAS from the medication I was taking at the time, and we had to change things around to fix it. It would mess me up for months when shit like that happened.
Go to another doctor if you think that will help, sometimes it takes a new perspective to take on your case to get things back under control.

I guess I am just going to go back up to the 150mg until I can get in with another shrink.
