I am having a very rough night. My psych doc told me to discontinue Effexor that I have been on for over a year. It's only been one day that I have been off of it and I'm already starting to feel side effects. Is this normal? I have been told that this medication is very hard to get off of. When my psychiatrist had me go from 75 mg to 37 1/2 mg that week was pretty tough I am really hoping that I don't go through that again. I am on Trileptal 300 Mg that I take three times a day and fluvoxamine 100 military it 100 mg that I take at night. Today I have been a little bit more obsessive over things and then a little more aggressive and argumentative. I hate this and I hate that I feel this way.
