I have been taking 37.5 mg of effexor XR for 3 months now, and have had fewer side effects than with any other I have tried so far...
I seem happier and more attentive... though I still have anxiety now and then...
At higher doeses, it gave me anxiousness and the jitters, so I can't speak for the higher doses..
and I haven't had major problems when I have missed a dose.... just take it slow, and remember it has a short half life - that's the reason for the XR version.. so at first, don't miss a dose and it will go better for you..
good luck
