In reply to Just started Effexor, feel like I'm sick, posted by waterlily on April 17, 2003, at 15:41:41
Seems like a common side effect from what I'm reading. My husband started taking Effexor 37.5 mg 2x daily approx 6 wks ago for OCD - after weaning off Prozac. He's now up to 150 mg daily. Thought he had the flu a couple weeks ago. Sweating, chills, major fatigue...1st time called in sick in 4 years. Still lingering a bit although he feels much better. Hope it will continue to dissipate.
On a positive note, Prozac made him severely depressed; he's been much happier and productive on the Effexor.Good luck!
