Hey Krissy... I had almost the same effect when I first started on Effexor. I found that in order to fight off the nausea, drink LOTS of water... not just 6 cups, or the recommended 8 cups, but as much as you could possibly need. I found that when the Effexor was going into my system it was dehydrating the Hell out of me.Second, take it with meals.... Whenever you're going to have supper, eat, and then right after take your Effexor. Also, try eating a little bit several times a day. Like breakfast, lunch, maybe a snack or two, and supper. I found that the more I ate, the less sick I felt. I know, weird... The only problem with that was that I was forcing myself to eat because Effexor seemed to take away a lot of my appetite.
But with food and LOTS of water I was able to get through it untill the Effexor was safely into my system. I remember the worst days being days 6-10 after starting your initial dose, and any few days after increasing or decreasing the dose. Just the fun of taking Effexor I guess...
