Withdrawing from pristiq

I’ve went off pristiq once before a few years ago but went back on pretty quickly so I don’t remember much of the coming off phase. This time i cut back really slowly, starting from 50mg cutting in half, to cutting in quarters, to cutting 25mg into quarters (I know ur not supposed to cut the pills but I wanted to minimize the symptoms as much as possible).

Anywho, I’m going on day 3 without any pristiq. The doom and gloom is EXTREME. While on prisiq it seemed like the only emotion I felt was anger and now I’m just so. effing. sad.

Does this balance out eventually?
