Well after taking the effexor this morning, I have been nauseated most of the day, but I think that may be because I was stupid enough to take it on an empty stomach. I have also been drowsy all day...
I am taking the extended release. Anyone else had any experience, How long does this last....
> Hi this is the effect that it had on me...I started effexorXR extended release last Friday 37.7mg , I have never taken psychotropic medication before...Now then I was spaced out for 4 days and then kinded came down over the following days. It is now thursday and the only affect that I feel now is light headed ,metalic taste in my mouth. I was only sleeping between 2 and 3 hours a night and last night I slept 5 hours..To eat I had to force myself to eat just to take the daily dose. I am taking it at 7:15 am and I dont feel so wound up at 11:pm when I go to bed . I don't feel the anxiety that I was feeling, but because of the issues I am working through I am slightly depressed still , which is far better than I was...I am also a little constipated...If you are taking quick realease then I would mention it on your thread.
