Side effects - Venlafaxine (Effexor, Trevilor) - Increased Aggressiveness ?

[tyranny4u]

Hello,

tt is on 110 mg Methadone (went up from 90 mg a few days before be-
cause of psychological problems, as tt takes Venlafaxine he thought
that would have been the best choice, instead of adding another med.)

But back to topic: tt is on Venlafaxine TR 150 mg per day.
And it seems to tt that "subliminal aggression" is hidden somewhere in him,
caused of of nearly always accomodating, and being
frustrated because of private things: family, partnership but also the
politics in his country...
And it seems that now the aggressiveness begins to "find or seek it's
way out".

First tt thought that this comes from his tapering off benzos. But now he
stays on a dosage for a while, even took a little bit more again plus fluni-
trazepam for sleep.

But the feeling doesn't disappear. tt surely won't go out and get into
violence or so, but sometimes is astonished about his thoughts, like
when sitting in the subway a guy stares at him, then tt thinks "yeah,
come on, start a fight, tt would beat and kick you right into emergency
ward!"

tt actually is a peaceful guy, don't get him wrong, he is not the kind of
female acting gay. but he is gay and being non-violent actually always
was his way of living.

But now tt asks himself if that increased disposition for getting in
trouble could be a side effect of the Venlafaxine. So there is tt's
question:

Did any of the SWIMMERS, dogs and goldfishies here that are on the
same medication (Venlafaxine only or in combination with any benzo),
did they experience the same / similar effects from Venlafaxine?

If yes, please answer the tyrant in a few lines saying more than "yes,
and it was terrible"

So let tt thank you for reading this and let tt thank you much more
when replying.

Greets,

THE peaceful but worried and confused TYRANT
