In reply to How long does it generally take to see if Effexor, posted by Laney on February 5, 2012, at 11:11:48
Laney,
I experienced an Effexor induced mania last year. I felt the effects of 37.5 the very next morning after the first dose. I experienced no discontinuation syndrome, but I only took it for 5 days so it probably didn't build up in my system long.
My doctor always warns me I should be weary of feeling good too earlier after introducing a med. Since you haven't felt anything too rapidly right out of the gate I would hope that means you will have a nice stable climb upward.
Good luck.
