In reply to I am new at this and Effexor XR, posted by valenphy on March 27, 2002, at 14:47:32
My doctor prescribed Effexor XR 150mg. The first day was like hell. I felt hot and cold sensations, a lot of sweating... Just like in a bad flu. I felt my wrists very painful. Also my jaw seemed to be stiff, and I would yawn involutarialy. I also felt dizzy. However, the most terrible side effect was urinary rentention.... No matter how hard I tried, I could barely leak just a few drops... I tried to drink a lot of water, but it also did not work well...
I never had so many side effects with a drug in its first day of use!! Has anyone ever gone through this? Should I continue taking it?!
