Hi Joy

I started Effexor about 3 months ago and i have found them really good. They worked quite quickly and i had no real side effects other than feeling a bit more tired than usual in the beginning, this has stopped now. I take 1 37.5mg tablet in the evening usually after dinner cos need to take with or after food. Doc says can take extra one in morning if i feel i need it but have never found that necessary.

If i miss a dose for a couple of days which i have done in the past then feel a little shaky but once i start again seems to sort that out.

Hope this is helpful to you, i would just say that what is right for me might not be right for someone else. If you want to know anything else, feel free to get in touch.

Take care.

I went on Effexor last summer. It did nothing for me I'm afraid. I started on 75mg and went up to 150. Had lots of side effects and no therapeutic action. I'm now coming off it which is not easy though by this day next week I'll be done. It's taken me several months to get off but I'm nearly there!!
