Hi. Thanks to everyone for your helpful information. I have been on Effexor for about a month after taking Prosac for about 2 years. I wasn't happy about the sexual side-effect so my Dr. recommended EffexorXR. I have increased the dosage from 37.5 to 112.5, trying to find the right fit. I was surprised how strong the initial side-effects were. I had muscle twitches, brain shivers, insomnia BUT I did experience joy for the first time in ages. The fog has lifted and I am actually FEELING again. The side-effects are starting to wear off, especially if I watch my caffiene intake, but I also have fear and respect for this drug that appears to have such a dramatic effect on my body and mind. Could someone let me know how they feel on the 150 mg. dosage? I realize that is when the next level of the drug kicks in. Thanks again, NoodleHead
