I have been taking effexor for 6weeks now and my depression has definately reduced, however I am experiencing a few side effects that have me a bit worried.
I have nasuea that makes me not want to eat, however if I miss a meal I become very weak. I have experienced a few pauses/ brain frezzes....I phase out completly for a few seconds.
I am also often clenching my jaw tight but I wont notice till I feel the strain.
I used to be able to run at least twenty minutes and feel fine....now I am dizzy when I run up the stairs or get up too fast.
As well my face is starting to break out with acne....which may also be related to my diet.
Although I know effexor is helping with the depression these side effects are making me want to stop taking this med and are concerning me. any advice/comments would be so very much appreciated. take care.
