    Well at the time I didn't know better that's what the doctor gave me but I did suffer really bad with the heightened anxiety it was that bad I went to the hospital a&e but they did nothing to help me so in answer I would just take it easy and start slow if that's any help Take care Linda x

    Yes, that’s what my gut is telling me. I will wait for the 10 day mark and then split the pills and go up to 37.5

    Re: First day of Venlafaxine

    SO I just increased my dosage of Effexor to 50MG (this is my second day). I just had a heart flutter and i'm scared this is from the Effexor. On a side note, I just had a few sips of some coffee. Could it be the combination? Should I not be drinking regular coffee during this transition time? I'm now really worried and don't want to go down the path of thinking I have heart problems.

    I love my coffee but since starting venlafaxine i only have 1 coffee a day max, as it does increase heart rate alongside the ven. If you get a lot of palpatations try not to worry, it's just a side effect and it does decrease each day from my experience so far... maybe your doctor could prescribe beta blockers at a low dose to help? I've used 10mg propanolol in the past for palpatations with no problem, doesn't seem to interact with venlafaxine?
