I STARTED A WEEK AGO AND I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS SLEEPY ALL THE TIME , SOMETIMES I WANT TO EAT A LOT THEN THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WON'T EAT ALL DAY EXCEPT WHEN I TAKE MY PILL. THE DOC SAID IT SHOULD TAKE A FEW WEEKS FOR IT TOOK KICK IN BUT I FEEL PRETTY GOOD, JUST TIRED. I FEEL LIKE MY VISION IS BLURRED AT TIMES AND THAT SCRARES ME. I DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO ANYONE ,CAUSE IF YOUR NOT ON THE MEDS YOU HAVE KNOW IDEA THE WAY IT MAKES YOU FEEL AND YOU SOUND A LITTLE CRAZY. >
Hi,
>
> I just started Effexor XR yesterday. I have been sleeping 16 hours a day and eating like a pig for the few hours I was up...has anyone had sucess with Effexor XR who had those sorts of syptoms. (it seems like the opposite is more common)
>
> One other question, I was wondering if anyone has noticed extra side effects with caffiene and Effexor XR. I felt great yesterday and today (placebo, I know) until I drank some Dr. Pepper, and I don't know if the side effects randomly kicked in then, or if it was related to the caffiene.
