Hi IsoM,
you toughed it out though, until something else was available that could help you. I can understand switching if it's severe and once something potentially better comes along.
I read stories of people switching for benign reasons, sometimes not even waiting for a month or so, when side effects usually decrease, and I find it sad because meds are discarded that could help some people. I was tempted to stop after 2 days of Effexor XR, but I called my doc who reassured me that the worse side effects would go away. I continued and found out my body got used to it and adjusted. I still have problems (sleep and constipation), but I try to manage them because I can see the good that Effexor XR does to me.- sid
