Talk with you doctor. My experience on Effexor was that it significantly made things worse for about 3 weeks then made things great. I was on it for 3 years. You can get rebound headaches from it. Also ask you pdoc for a benzo to tide you over the initial rough patch. YMMV

Took ONE 37.5 mg of Effexor XR yesterday and I feel terrible. HELP...Am I having normal side effects or am I just sick as a dog. My head is pounding, I am jittery, got no sleep, agitated, sad, stomach hurts..etc. AND i only took 1 pill....

I feel terrible after one dose, no sleep and it sure adds to my brain fog, dizziness and feeling bad...Should I be patient and let the side effects subside....I hate feeling terrible and I know side effects take a while to calm down...but I feel terrible....HELP HELP
