> I know yawning is a side effect of Efexor. What a nuicence. My yawns are constant, huge and end in a throat constriction that leaves me unable to breath for a few seconds. I have to suck in air quite sharply to get my breath back. Then I'm dizzy for a second or two. I have been taking Efexor XR 75mg for three weeks. If anyone else has experienced this side effect, did it eventually ease up?

> Another annoying side effect is that I startle very easily, especially with movement from peripheral vision. If something moves slightly or looks as though it is going to fall, I get a huge fright. If there is a loud noise or something like that, the fright I get reduces me to tears.

> Anyone experience one or both of the above?
>I had the yawns. They went away after 2 or 3 weeks.
