> I have been taking Effexor XR for about a week. I have had a very up and down week. I feel better during the day and noticed an increase in energy, but I start to fade at 7:30 with nausa, I yawn all the time, have dizzy spells and can barely walk I am so tired and weak. But I never sleep though the night. Has this happened to anyone else? I am on 3 days of 75mg, I take it in the morning.
I wish I had found these boards when I was first put on Effexor! I would have talked to my Dr. about alternatives, and would never have gotten up to 112.5 mg/day.
I took it for 2 years, and am going through horrible withdrawl, even though I am gradually decreasing my dosage.
Reading posts by others going through withdrawl has been a great help to me. The electrical shock sensations and the shakes and jitters are horrible.
Thanks to all who have posted.
