emlucy, I am surprised that your Dr would prescribe effexor without trying something else first. Also, doesn't you med bottle say to take with food? It is very important to follow the warnings.
Discuss with you Dr. when you should take your med. I just switched to taking it at night (after dinner). I was getting too tired in the mid day and afternoon.
You will probably not feel better for around six weeks. It takes awhile for anti-depressants to work.
I found that when I first started effexor my sleep was very disturbed; I took ambien for about a month. I have been taking effexor for a year. It has helped me so much! I take 225mg, I have sleep problems sometimes and take ambien when I do.
Eat something before you take effexor, and be patient for awhile.
