When I got on Effexor XR, I got on it at 37.5 and it still blew me away... Exactly the symptoms you describe... Heart racing, nervousness, plus I had this kind of numbness to my skin... Eventually this subsided... But it came right back when I upped the dosage to 75mg...I also split my 75 into two dosages one in the morning, one at bedtime... But I didnt like taking 3 diff things at bedtime (effexor, geodon and remeron) so I gradualy started taking the effexor closer and closer together... first at 9pm, then at 6pm, then all 75mg in the morning... I found that my body adapted pretty quickly to the 75mg, though it still is a tad ruff...
The effexor -never- made me somnolent... The remeron that I take at night, (15mg) pretty much takes care of that... To the extent that when I get up in the morning I'm still completely tired... Then I take the effexor which starts to wear on the somnolence... fun fun fun.
