I have been taking Effexor XR for 3 weeks now and am doing great. I am currently on 25mg/day of Effexor XR.I did get dizziness and a bit of nausia for the first 2 weeks but I took the advice of one of you guys out there and simply took my dose each evening before going to bed. If I have any nausia during the day I take a small amount(25-50mg) of Gravol.
This drug is great for me. I have tried Paxil (too much emotional numbness and weight gain) and Zoloft (just make me feel ill) and so far this stuff is the best. I will likely stay on it. I have major depression and anxiety. I still get a bit paranoid when stressed but I may just need to increase my dose. Hope this info. helps.
