In reply to weird impulses, posted by bluestar on April 9, 2003, at 1:10:46
Yes, may experience was simular to yours. I don't swear. And all of a sudden I was saying things like "Get the h*(( over here, out loud at work. My coworkers said I was developing terrets (sp). Im greatful that it has gone away. Only lasted a couple of weeks.
Has anyone else experienced weird impulses since starting effexor? I feel totally fine and then out of NO WHERE I get an impulse to do something totally out of character. I've never had this problem before. It's not like I can't control it. I don't actually do whatever my impulse is but its disturbing how intense the feeling is for the short duration in which it happens. The other day I was walking past this little kid and I had the strongest urge to knock him over. I didn't wish the child any ill will, I just wanted to see what would happen. Ofcourse I didn't do it but it was such an extreme thought! Other times during my climb to a higher dosage, I've felt the urge to just scream at work as loud as I can or to break things. This is not out of anger or something I feel during a stressful situation, it seems to happen most when my mind is idle.
