In reply to Just started Effexor XR- having side effects, posted by mobeelgbv on December 27, 2004, at 16:25:45
uh, have you read the dozens and dozens of posts on this message board about severe negative effects people have had from Effexor? There are multiple threads on this page alone which address this topic and are worth reading if you are considering staying on Effexor. From everything I have read so far (and from my brief experience w/Effexor) this is not a drug you want to take unless you have exhausted all your other options.
> I just started Effexor two Sundays ago. I started at 37.5 mg for a week, and reduced my Remeron to 15 mg. I was doing fine at that point. Yesterday I increased to 75 mg and took my last dose of Remeron the night before. So, no Remeron last night. Took my second dose of 75 mg Effexor this a.m., and have been feeling edgy, nervous, a little shaky, and just not myself. I started feeling like this around 9 a.m. and am still feeling like this at 4:20 p.m. I usually drink alot of caffeine (Red Bull) in a day, and was wondering #1 is this a reason for my side effects (I've had two today), and #2 when will this wear off?
