Hi, I've been on effexor for about 7 years. I take 225 mgs and 60mgs of celexa a day. Up till last Nove I was also taking 1.5 mgs of risperidal a day. I quit that because I was just too tired all the time. The only side affect I've had from the effexor is dry mouth. Not really a big deal. I've got to tell you though, I've had a real problem with exhaustion the past year and I am producing breast milk for no apparent reason.My OBGYN has passed the buck onto my GP to figure out what's going on. I've read some posts of people with some real problems with effexor. The other thing that I get, especially if I'm late in the day, or forget to take it, is this bizare headache that feels like when you hit your elbow on something, only in your head, and getting very off balance and dizzy. I wish you the best of luck with it, and I won't knock it, it saved my life.
The other nice thing about it is you don't gain weight from it like some of the drugs out there. Kelly>
