Started Effexor XR two days ago, two doses of 37.5 XR. Effects/perceptions: light pressure sensation in head; only four hours sleep; dry mouth; exacerbates reflux. But provides even keeled affect. (Also prescribed .5 xanax for stonach spasm and sleep.) Given the withdrawal symptoms here described, I am doubtful about this Rx for me. Tried Paxil two years ago with severe nausea. Deal with gneralized anxiety and now recent death of elderly parent to whom I was closely bonded.
