I've been on Effexor XR for about 2 months now and no I've never felt like i could feel my heart beating through my chest at all. I guess everyone is different though. I had only one side effect and that was being a lil tired for the first 2 weeks but that went away and now i have more energy than i know what to do with. Well pretty much normal energy that i was never used to having before.
Someone asked why they see Lexapro and Effexor together... well me I was on lexapro for two years for depression. Worked great for that. NOt for the anxietys. So I asked my doctor to try somthing else that he recomended. So now on the Effexor XR it is doing a fantastic job of taking care of both the depression and the social anxiety. I am so happy that he recomended this medication.
Some of the urges and cravings to do some of my old routines are still there a little. What I feel now is more control over my mind. I am aware of these thoughts now and I can tell my mind to stop and it's like it listens. I'm once again the boss of my mind. It's an amazing feeling.... :)
After two months no side effects. Effexor XR is working great for me... :) I couldn't be happier with the results thus far.
