Wake up again, realise I forgot to take my second dose of fxr the night before... this is the first time that I have ever missed a dose, and the first time I have had this sort of thing happen, except when I first started it...

Hi Kid'
I'm on time release effexor so side fx reduced.
Missing a dose can do this.
I get nightmares but not as much as when I was on just 75mg-now on 150.
Last night I dreamt a horrific dream but suppose I've got kinda used to them get good ones too.
Sweating has reduced the longer I've been on it.
Think side fx lessen with dose increase but discontinuing the drug may be another matter.
Is a potent strange pill.
