What Causes Severe Depression And Anger While Withdrawing From Effexor XR?

I am weaning from effexor xr 150 mg to effexor xr 75 mg .... its been a week... having periodic anger burst and crying spells as well as increased anxiety. Is this just an adjustment phase? The 150 has caused much weight gain and was gonna see if lowering the dose would help with weight.
