I have been taking Effexor for about 6 weeks, is it possible that I may experience some ups and downs before I see some stability in my mood and anxiety? Has that happened to anybody else here?
Thanks, I'm feeling pretty desperate today, so any help would be great.

When I first started taking it I noticed a difference in about two weeks. The full effect happened at around the 4th week. I would say that if you continue to experience crying spells at work in the next couple weeks you may need to talk to your doctor. Perhaps the dosage needs upped, a different med tried, etc.
