Effexor-side effects, no benefit

Posted by Capri on June 12, 2003, at 21:25:46

The first 2 weeks of taking Effexor I had no irritability and anxiety (was the reason for starting this med in the first place). The beginning was rough with a wicked headache, dry mouth, metal taste, tiredness and a feeling of being stoned. But it has been 5 weeks and I can't sleep at night. I'm up at 3:00 a.m. wide awake. I now have depression, no appetite, laziness and really no desire to do routine activities. Anyone have the same effects?? I don't think I will continue on this. It doesn't give me a good feeling. When the doctor tried to increase it to 75mg the depression got worse. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am also concerned about the withdrawal symptoms.
