I have been completely off effexor for over 2 1/2 weeks now and my appetite has gotten any huger if that makes any sense. Has anyone have that happen after going off it? BEcause I sure in the hell don't need to add to the 70+ pounds I gained on the paxil and effexor I have been exercising and trying to diet does it ever come off or is it just me?? I also have been having eye ticks and a weird rash on my arms and I hate everyone!!! I am really scared that this is just who I am going to be forever or is it possible to still be having withdrawals after being off it so long and if so how long does it take once you have been off it before you are back to your regular self? I feel like I am alienating everyone around me lately and I am thinking everyone that I know are idiots and irritating to me and I can't stand to be around anyone and that is was not how I was before the a.d.s so it is'nt like I am just going back to how I was I hate feeling this way I just want to stay in bed. So to repeat the question, am I or is it possible to still have withdrawals this long after my last dose and I did taper off per doctors instructions and not go cold turkey. Please, Please someone answer me I am desperate.
