> Does anyone know what the normal heart rate for a 23 year old female would be?

I am also a 23 year old female!

> My resting heart rate - when I am LYING down - tends to be like 88 - 95 beats / minute and I feel kinda sick and nausea at this time too.

I looked on webmd.com about your question and here's the answer
What are the possible side effects of EFFEXOR XR?

EFFEXOR XR may cause side effects in some people. In clinical studies, few people had to stop taking EFFEXOR XR because of side effects.

In clinical studies, the most common side effects included:
Nausea
Dizziness
Sleepiness
Abnormal ejaculation
Sweating
Dry mouth
Gas
Abnormal vision
Nervousness
Insomnia
Anorexia
Constipation
Confusion/agitation
Tremor
Yawning
Palpitation

Tell your doctor right away if you have
increases in heart rate.
extreme confusion or seizures, which may indicate very low levels of sodium in the blood.
abnormal bleeding or bruising.
sudden, unexpected eye pain, eye redness, or changes in vision, which may indicate increased eye pressure.
symptoms of mania or hypomania, such as persistently elevated or irritable mood, a decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, hyperactivity, and rapid, excessive speech.
> I can only guess what my heart rate is when I stand up and go upstairs - feels like my heart is going to pop out of my chest!!

Increased heart rate is one of the side effects that you should call your doctor immediately for.
>
> I am on Effexor XR for anxiety/depression (now for 5 weeks at 75mg) and I am not sure if this heart rate increase is from my anxiety or the meds....hmmm.
>
> Also, I get slight twitches in my body... I think from the meds.

I twitch sometimes too but I have always done that but I think it occurs more often now

> Does anyone know what dose of Effexor is recommended to decrease anxiety - because I know certain meds work for different things at different doses. Anyone know???
> Greatly appreciated!

My anxiety was greatly reduced when I started the effexor, the depression lifted later.

> Also, does Effexor XR affect ones memory and concentration ability?? I am currently studying for a test and I feel like everything I read I just can't remember or concentrate on!!!! ahhhhh.

Last semester I was having those problems too. I start back to school tomorrow so I'll find out soon if I'm still having the problem.
> Please - some advice desperately sought. G.Bear.

Sorry no advice but I can empathize.
