Some of you may of read my other posts and know that I am coming of Effexor cold turkey (I HAVE to come off cold turkey so please no advice on tapering).
I am now on day 11 or 12 and although the brain zaps, sickness, stomach cramps etc are virtually none excistant the emotional effects are horrendous. I really now feel as though effexor has quashed my emotions for the last few years and now all of a sudden they are all flooding out.
I lost someone close to me a year ago and although it was awful at the time I really feel as though I am grieving for them all over again but this time it is much worse. My family are being fantastic but I'm still all over the place and find myself crying and shouting for no reason at all. This in turn makes me feel guilty and I then feel even more emotional than ever.
I hate myself so much at the moment for not being the person I should be ie strong, incontrol and looking after my family, not them looking after me.
Now I fear that this outlet of emotions will go on and on and on.....
