I've been taking Effexor XR for a few years now, and I go crazy without it. It's been 3 days since I've taken it (I ran out). I've been going crazy. I randomly start yelling and cursing at people, crying, contemplating suicide, etc. I feel like *****. I'm getting back on it asap, just had perscription refilled. In the meantime, is there anything I can do to feel better. And last, and most important, is this normal????!
I'm an 18 year old male, college student, who normally is calm and stress free. Now I am stressed, and going insane. thanks.

 Hi Student11,
Symptoms of withdrawal after abrupt discontinuation of the medication may range from worsening depression, anxiety, irritability, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. Certain medications should not be abruptly discontinued and withdrawal can last for several days. Many pharmaceutical companies offer assistance programs to help patients acquire medications. If you are having difficulty meeting the expenses for this medication click the following link for information.

I hope you find this helpful. Best wishes!
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
