Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

Hey All,
It’s been a couple weeks now that I’m on 0 mg. I was wondering how everyone who is off it now felt a couple weeks into it? Or just in general after withdrawal has minimized? (Or maybe this is still withdrawal?)
I’m feeling moody and irritable still and feel the need to be in control of a lot of things. I specifically feel snappy.
For my women friends, did you notice a huge difference in mood change during your time of the month? I’m really hoping that this could just be that!
Mainly, worried that I’m going to be a raging b*tch without my medication and it sucks because I see SO MANY good things off my medication, I’m more motivated, better in social situations, working out more, less sleeping and I feel like I care about things again.
I just don’t want to be a nasty person and I don’t want to be back on medication! 🤦🏼♀️🤷♀️😩
Thoughts? 💜

How old are you?
I used to write words about raging emotions after getting off this drug.
Red Clover Tea from the health food store stopped these feelings.
It soothed out the nasty edges.
Get it loose or in tea bags.
It works.
They will tell you how much to use.
I myself was using a loose tablespoon of the dried leaves and flowers in 1 quart hot water.
A bit of honey helped. I would put less than a tsp in the quart.
I wish you well.
