Hi, Dee.
When I started effexor, I began at 37.5 for a few days just to see how I tolerated it, and increased very gradually.
225 mg is not a lot. I take 375 mg, and that's along with all the other stuff I take.
It stinks to have to worry about cost. I guess you don't have a prescription plan with your insurance. The reason I mention this is that it is frequently the case that people do better on two or more meds in combo.
The negative affects that I have experienced are insomnia, fidgitiness, decreased libido, decreased sexual sensation, anorgasmia, muscle twitches, and urinary urgency. I have had intermittent memory issues, nothing major. On regular effexor, I had profuse sweating. Other people have reported drowsiness, and high blood pressure.
It seems to me like a lot of people on this board are on effexor xr.
