Hey Tina, yep, yawning and gagging... Never puked, but lots of gagging... Ummmm, to myself anyways, my skin smelled like burning rubber. And I had this warm greasy feeling all over my entire body. The first two weeks are going to be tough, so just stick them out. Then one morning you're just going to wake up and just about all the side effects are going to be gone.Since I took my Effexor in the morning, I would drink tons of water all day. If you're going to be taking it before night though, I guess you could just keep a glass of water beside your bed. Then drink a ton of water when you wake up in the morning. You know, if you start drinking tons of water, it's only maybe the first 4-5 days that you're going to have to go to the washroom so often. After that, your body just gets used to taking all the water in, and you lose about 5lbs from the water that your body is used to retaining. Other than that, keep a small amount of Clonazepam in your system throughout the day. That should help to make things seem less unpleasant.
