i have been on effexor for about 4 days now. i have felt immediate side effects - or are they anxiety attacks?
is it possible to have the side effects right away. and does this mean the meds is not a good match for me?
i have been anxious about taking effexor as i had really bad side effects from zoloft 10 years ago. but the doctor & nurse told me to keep at it (effexor) and the side effects will go away in 2 weeks. but what if i wait the 2 weeks, and then i realize the meds doesn't work for me. that's a waste.
anyway, these are what i've been encountering since taking effexor: restlessness, left leg feeling funny, more anxiety, shallow breaths, dry mouth/sinus, one moment sleepy - wide awake the next, tremors, VERY EDGY - i get startled over the smallest noise. my sense of smell seemed more keen. i get nauseaus at the smell of most food. so there, i get nauseaus and also upset stomach (loud grumbling too yaiks!).
i'd appreciate any input. thanks. i'm glad i found this site.
