I've had some of the side effects you've noted and have also gotten to the point where I really *like* Effexor: it does what it's supposed to do.

The side effects moderate and/or go away with time. Also, some people are very sensitive to meds and need less, so a lower doseage might work better.

Many here have had bad experiences when stopping Effexor or even reducing the doseage. I have not had any ill effects when I reduced doseage from 225mg to 75mg. I can also bump my dose to 150mg on bad days with no ill effects.

Keep in mind that almost ALL medications have some sort of side effect(s), even aspirin... The people that frequent these bulletin boards are the *power* users if you will, and you tend not to hear from the vast majority of people who've had no problem.

Keep track of your side effects, keep an open dialog with your PDoc and good luck!
