I don't think most people have a lot of side effects on Effexor. I don't recall having any. It's the only AD that works at all for me. Try to relax if you can. I think stressing out about trying a new med is more likely to cause problems than the med itself does. I think you'll know within a day or so if there are going to be side effects or reactions. Good luck 
No offense but it doesn't work that way. An AD (any med really) may cause different reactions according to the individual. Some may work well for some and have no effect for others.
I don't think it's a good idea for us to recommend meds to each other. |
Thanks George H for the vote of confidence
I spoke to my shift manager today and found that his wife has been on it for 10 years and never really had a bad reaction. He really put my mind at ease, so tonight I'm having a few drinks because I don't have to start work until early afternoon tomorrow (Saturday here) and I'll take the first Efexor Sunday morning as planned. It might just do me good. If not, then I'll speak to my doctor.
Tonight I'm fairly hopeful that this will all turn out ok. It's the unknowing that's the worst, but I'm willing to "suck it and see!"
Kind regards,
Rose.
