If you do a search on Effexor on this board you will find lots and lots of stories about the wide variety of side effects that people experience, from increased anxiety (great!) to sweatiness to leg twitches to headaches, nausea, dizziness, dissociation, terror, etc. etc. Also, check www.crazymeds.org for their good compendium of info on Effexor and lots of other meds. Generally the side effects do go away (the worst of mine lasted about two weeks, but it took about six weeks to really get used to the med) but everyone's experience varies.
Hope this helps.
