I have been on Effexor XR for about 3 years at 150mg in the mornings. Had some stress so went up to 225mg. Noticed side effects dry skin, lost 15 pounds and lost sex drive. The bad effects were jitters and nervous stomach and mild tremors in hands. I like the lack of OCD thought attacks with the higher dose but the nervousness has to stop. I use a fourth of 1 mg. of Lorazepam to knock out the jitters. I am thinking on going back down to 150mg. Any Suggestions?
