In reply to Just starting Effexor tomorrow. Advice?, posted by greywolf on March 10, 2004, at 17:09:22

My side effects were

dry mouth
dry eyes (couldn't wear contact lenses for 8 weeks)
trembling
excessive sweating
vivid dreams
high blood pressure when dosage increased to 150mg/day - it returned to high normal when dosage reduced to 75mg/day

I am on buspar to help with the sleep, and xanax for generalized anxiety.

For me, the side effects were pretty awful, but I feel, overall, the best I have in years. The side effects took as long to subside as the med did to have its full effect.

Good luck - rainyday.
