Hi Snarly,
I don't want to stop the Effexor, and I won't without a good fight, because I truly believe it will help me, but with the serotonin effect and too little Ritalin, it was making me more lethargic than I was already. I want to eventually take a higher dose because I read that's when the Norepinephrine kicks in, but I never dreamed I'd feel so many side effects.I take it at night and I am having, of course, sleepiness, less and less nausea than at first, shakey legs in the morning and one I never thought I'd have - sweating. (more than you wanted to know ;o) )
I just wondered, because you are one of the few on the web that seem to have been helped by this drug, did you have side-effects when you started, and if so, when did they eventually subside (if they did)?
Thanks for your informative post!
