effexor is working really well for me!

i've been on it for a month now, started at 75 mg and yes, the side effects were horrible. like christina said, headaches and nausea, i also felt really weak and tired (took it in the evening) but in the afternoon i felt better. used to spend the mornings watching DVDs, couldn't even sit on the computer also lost weight a bit because of the nausea.

about a week ago the dose was upped to 150 mg and haven't experienced any side effects.

for me, the side effects subsided in about a week. some experience anxiety, in that case you could ask your doctor for anti-anxiety meds for a little while, until it passes.

hope you do well with this med - some people say it's a wonder drug, and a while ago some magazine (or something? don't remember) said it was the most effective antidepressant.
