I work in the medical field and I do no that most patients when they try to come off of effexor is really bad. It is like the flu when doing without it. Now I do know that most of the patients taking it like how they feel while on it. Just watch if you miss doses or go off of it. hope this was helpful
Don't worry I don't miss doses ever lol, so hopefully will never feel the flu like symptoms. I hoping it gives me an extra boost and gets me feeling even better.
hi I'm on 150mg of effexor one 75mg in the morning and one 75mg about 2ish in the afternoon. i have been bk on effexor 10weeks and bk to normal now but it does take time to get into your system about 6 weeks i'd say so hang in there with it and don't quit if you feel its not working right away. you may get sum side effects like a little dizziness and not feeling hungry and your sleep may be up and down but all will pass believe me i'v ben through it twice. hope this helps :o)
Well it's about 3 hours since I took me first tablet, no major effects so far, feel a little drowsy but I didn't sleep to well last night anyway.
@ JE55LEW, a loss of appetite may help me, I could do with losing a bit of weight lol. I'll stick it out alrite, really feeling optimistic about this, hopefully it can move me on to better things, as I've come a long way in the last few months.
