However, the body could not handle such rage for long periods of time, [b]so the user became greatly weakened for some time after the rage subsided.Assuming that it is correct, Anakin would still be greatly weakened when he fought the magnaguard, which makes sense to me otherwise why did it take him so long to beat it?

Lol, wookieepedia....
Anyway, I didn't even know there was a specific force power called "force rage", just that they use their hate and emotions. Now there is nothing that speaks of draining (Anakin carrying Obi-Wan around, hanging in one arm from the elevator, all the other crap. Also, that he is taken captured and is for a pretty long while without fighting should regain any tiredness, especially with the force).
Also, doesn't the ROTS novel say that Anakin just stopped with the shit, and just decided to win? Nothing about a "force rage".
