> I just started EffexorXR 75 mg on Tuesday night. Woke up two hours later with severe anxiety, sweating, and nausea.
I thought the "normal" starting dose of Effexor XR was 37.5 mg per day for a week or two and then increase to 75 mg XR per day.
Even starting at 37.5 XR which I did about a year ago, I had simptons like you mentioned.
My personal opinion is going slower and starting at 37.5 is less of a shock to your system.
