hi,

:unsure:
When I went on Effexor/Venlafaxine, I was rather nauseous, dizzy, felt drunk etc. (horrific side effects) for a good week or so, then gradually the side effects subsided and the medication worked out great for me. I would just give your doctor a bell if you are really worried, but I think after about four weeks I was totally side effect free.
I took this medication for 4 months up to the max dosage. It made me chronically tired and lethargic and I gained about half a stone in the process. Awful.
i hope it works out better for you.
hi, thanks for your reply`s. i am seeing the doc next week so that i good. keep thinking i should never have changed from citalpram, but then i need to give these a fair chance as well.
I have read somewher that venlafaxine can cause anorexia. Does anyone know if this is true?

I do find with venlafaxine i have to make sure I've eaten a fair bit before I take them, seems to be helping with the nausea whereas with Citalopram i didn't feel like i had to have eaten much.
Hope that helps x
It is well known(in some patients, not ALL)for adding several inches to the waistline. This could explain the anorexia for those obsessesed with their weight.Quote:
