Hello, I wrote earlier, however, I think I should've started a new thread instead of use someone elses. I have been on 37.5mg of Effexor xr for 6 days now. I have had SE's. Headaches, dizziness, and nausea. How long does this last? My doc wants me to move up to 75 on Tuesday, however, if I still have effects at 37.5 should I move up? My doc also has me taking 300mg of St. John's wort, which could aggravate the effects of the effexor xr. Has anyone taken a combo before? I have read all these things about now combining anti-depressants. I have talked with pharmacist and they seem to think its o'kay for a while. Just wondered what anyone else thought. My doc has me on this drug for anxiety, however, I have read that others still take xanes to control anxiety. Why if this is supposed to do the trick. Xanex even at a very low dose knocks me on my rear, and i have 3 young kids to tend too....Any advise would be greatful? Thanks,Scooter1
