Do not EVER stop these meds “cold turkey” You must taper them off slowly, the Effexor a longer taper than the Ativan. I just quit Ativan and it took me three days before I felt OK. I was anxious, had goose bumps, couldn’t sit still, just basically sat in bed until the symptoms subsided. The SSRI’s take much longer and could be the source of your rage but stopping two is a bad idea.

Unfortunately, the damage is done. I had no help or input from anyone. I was taking .25 of the Ativan for about 3 weeks. I guess I thought that was a low enough dose to stop from. Did your doctor tell you what to do? I tried to restart the Venlafaxine and only took 37.5 for about 5 days. I don’t know what to do. I was just sitting in bed and had to get up. There are no safe places here in Phoenix. They are all like jails.
