I finished my fourth week of 75mg Effexor, and most of side effects have subsided. The vivid dreams are easier to remember, and what is strange is that I can feel when the medication kicks in. It feels like a flash in my brain and I can feel rushes of energy flowing through me.
I have started taken a quarter of a 1mg pill of Klonopin at night for sleep and that seems to help mellowing out the dysphoria (where your mind goes at 80mph and can't focus). I still get mild headaches (back of brain) though.
All in all, I can say I am tolerating this drug so far, and I am beginning to see a bit more progress in my mood. Have faith!
