In reply to just started effexor xr today, posted by scaredofmeds on September 7, 2005, at 20:19:23
> I just started this today and already i don't know if i like the way it makes me feel. It knocked me out for 4 hours midday. I suffer from ptsd & depression. I have tried several meds but don't like the way i feel when i'm on them. I have also noticed that my jaw is almost always clinched- which is going to give me a horrible headache. Any suggestions from anyone will be welcome. Also.....I have the worst case of nausea that i have ever had in my life. Can't even think of food i want to hurl.

> Thank You!!!Many side effects go away soon, either because your body gets used to the med, or because your dosage is increased and the side effect does not ocur with a higher dosage. I had nausea when starting effexorxr)- when I took with food (breakfast) this helped a lot. Anxiety or sleeping a lot - try taking it at night.
I had pretty bad constipation followed by bowel movement emergency (urgency) during the first 3 weeks. . Lots of fun. It went away after about 10 days. Same thing with the restless syndrome.
