I recently started on effexor xr, taking 37.5 then moving to 75 then to 150 over about 10 days.
I was wondering what others felt specifically when they started taking effexor xr. This is my first anti-depressant or mood-changing prescription of any kind so I don't know too much about it. I just moved to 75 two days ago, and I'm feeling sort of disoriented and dizzy. Not really nasaeu or headaches.. just sort of strung out. I also starting taking trazadone at night to relieve insomnia I've been having (started these two drugs on the same day). So when / do these side effects start to go away. I guess I don't really feel as depressed or anxious.. but it's too soon to really decide that. Also a little difficulty with orgasms (just taking a bit more effort - I'm a male).Also when I start on 150 mg, should I take two 75mg's at once or should I take one in the morning and one in the afternoon? I've been taking it in the morning w/o breakfast which might be a problem, and I'm going to start taking with food..
Thanks
