Re: New to Effexor XR, my side effects, anyone else?

> I started out at 35mg, then after 4 pills, I moved up to 75mg. I have been taking my dose early in the morning and by 8pm, I can not stop yawning. Do I need my doc to up my dose? Some other side effects that I have been experiencing, after 10 days on Effexor are headaches, strange dreams (inludes waking up laughing my head off), first 5 days of everything I ate tasting like metal, and losing 5 lbs. in 2 weeks with no desire to eat still. Has anyone else experienced these side effects. Do they ever go away? Is it better to take my med at night or in the morning?
> >I have been taking effexor xr for 2 months and I have some side effects. I sweat some and I have lost 20 lbs in that 2 months, but that is a blessing. I did have that metal taste but it went away. Most of the side affects have went away.
I still have some mild sweating but I can tolerate that. I love this med I feel great for the first ime in nine yrs.
