> I was put on 75mg a day for Effexo RX for anxiety. Don't have the once or 2x a monty attacks anymore but am wondering if anyone else has the following sides: sweating, no weight loss, gas, (sorry guys) irregular periods at the start, apathy for daily routine, itching and a dry 'tickle' cough.
Hi Pagan,
I've been on 75mg Effexor since about Jan 15, so nearly 3 months, and I think I've had about every side effect that anyone can have. These include:
The first couple weeks, then they went away:
- nausea
- anxiety
- dizziness
- dissociation
- nervousness
- depression
- crying jags
- racing heartbeatThe first several weeks:
- nervousness
- anxiety
- depression
- crying jags
- dissociationOff and on throughout:
- night sweats
- sweatiness during the day, but only around my midsection
- vision changes
- sore jaw musclesAll the time:
- apathy apathy apathy
- trouble achieving orgasm (although my libido remains healthy)
- sore bum muscles (seriously – tight glutes, hips get very sore)
- irregular periods (was like clockwork before, but now it comes up to 5 days late - freaks me out)But despite all this, I am very pleased about my results on Effexor. My anxiety and depression are almost completely dealt with, and I can cope much better.
Hope your sides improve. But don’t be surprised if they come and go, or if you get some new ones when old ones go away.
