Sounds like the exact same reaction I had - and my sister had. One dose is all we lasted, and we've both tried many other ADs without experiencing such severe and immediate side effects.
Perhaps switching to Cymbalta might be warranted...
> I started Effexor 37.5 today, after having oatmeal and 1/2 cup of caffeinated tea. Within 15 minutes I felt naseous. I became sick to my stomach and couldn't do anything for 1 hr 45 min. I don't drink or do any drugs and didn't mix it with any herbs this morning. I serioiusly thought I was going to need to call an ambulance because I was freaking out. I couldn't stop moaning and doubling over. It was very intense like a bad ecstasy or acid trip. It's 4 hours later and now I feel pretty normal with mild side effects. I still feel a little speedy but sleepy and not so motivated.
