I started taking Effexor about 2 months ago. I can honestly tell you that everything you have experienced will pass in about 6 weeks or so. I started on a very low dose and gradually increased to 150 mg. I had all the side effects mentioned in the above post but the one that really bothered me was the wierd dreams. Every night it was something different and they seemed VERY REAL! My husband thought I was going nuts as I tried to tell him about them. I hated to sleep. I never knew what to expect and I would wake up several times a night in sweat and my heart pounding. After reading other peoples post on this web site I realized that I was not the only one experiencing this. Anyway, many of the side effects I had are now gone. I have very few dreams like I did before. I cant say that I really like Effexor because it make me feel numb at times but it does seem to calm me down. I suffer from depression and social anxiety. I now take it at night and I really can tell a difference. When I took it in the morning before work I felt like a zombie for most of the day. Since taking it at night I feel somewhat refreshed in the morning. Anyway, please give the drug alittle time. (I use to hate it when people would tell me that) It really does get better.
