I'm sorry to hear that, what a crazy ride! I have started to feel so much better after figuring out what the withdrawals cause. I'm able to treat my self with the ride foods and natural supplements to aid in this recovery. Effexor and SSRN's make your cortisol sky rocket. Cortisol is you stress hormone, therefore, glucose levels can also rise. While the stress hormone causes you to panic, some soothe that panic with eating, and that's exactly how my body responds. I would do some research on cortisol levels and make sure to meditate and do calming activities that can help you cortisol levels to get back to normal!
