In reply to First day on Effexor.....HELP..HELP, posted by redcat on January 26, 2002, at 10:02:51
Hi-
I've been on Effexor for a little over a month now and I had horrible beginning side effects. Look through some of the old posts here - they will be very helpful. I had the headaches and nausea and stomach aches. I couldn't sleep at night. Taking the herb Valerian Root did wonders, though. I slept like a baby with no spaciness the next day... I'm now up to 225 mg and pretty much have no more side effects. I have been very tired lately and I don't know whether it's the Effexor. Hang in there.
