In reply to Effexor side effects, posted by adamie on August 8, 2001, at 19:54:54
I was on Effexor XR last year, weaned off, relapsed and am now back on. I only had minor side effects that diminished over time, like dry mouth, feeling a little jittery. When I weaned off last year I had very little withdrawl symptoms. Effexor XR has been a wonderful drug for me, it worked rather quickly when I was in a major depressive episode and was having a LOT of anxiety and panic attacks. If you are concerned about what side effects you may experience I suggest you ask your pharmacist. Personally, I did not look at the side effects when I first started because it was clear I NEEDED medication, so what was the use. After I noticed dry mouth etc, then I looked them up. Anyway, good luck to you. I hope this AD works as well for you as it did for me.
