I am 22 and on day 2 of having my Effexor reduced from 75mg to 37.5 as my doctor and I have agreed to begin tapering off the drug. I have had no brain zaps today although yesterday was bad. But I have had a terrible headache today and when my boyfriend began getting ready to go to work I got emotional. After he walked out the door I started balling uncontrollably. I put myself into the bathtub and that helped calm me down after 5 minutes or so. Is this normal? Getting so sad over something so normal? I'm used to him working nights. He has been for 6 months. Nothing new to our relationship.
