> MORNING WITH THE SHAKES.IS IT THE TABLETS OR COULD IT
> BE THAT I AM NOT GETTING THE RIGHT QUANTITY AT THE WRONG TIME OF THE DAYLinda, I take Effexor-XR also. After slowly building up the dose, I now take 225 mg/day. I take it all in the morning with food. It makes me kind of "jittery" (although this has worn off, the longer I've taken it). I want to ask my pdoc about adding something to counteract the jitters (I used to take Serzone, and think a small dose would help); other people have suggested Klonopin and such (I hate downers and would never take those though). Talk to your pdoc about it and see what he/she suggests. Good luck to you!--Cindy W
