Hi,
I just started Effexor last week, too! I am on the baby dose of 37.5mg for 2 weeks, as well as taking 150mg of Wellbutrin. Unfortunately, I have almost immediately had decreased libido and problems in that area (very similar so far to what I experienced on Paxil, and later Zoloft). I haven't felt any less anxious (taking it for GAD) but I know it needs to build up in my system, and that my dose is very low. Other than the sexual dysfunction, I haven't had any other effects. I'm a bit freaked by what I've read about Effexor, too. I know we all react differently to different drugs, but have heard some creepy stuff about Effexor. I'm glad to see that some have been on it, and it has truly helped them.
Take care
