In reply to What is going on with this Effexor XR?, posted by Cin on February 18, 2001, at 14:12:08
you are at about the point in time ... 4 to 6 wks ... where some people go into an emotional labile state with SSRIs ... it may occur with effexor as well...
it usually lasts 2 to 3 wks, when it happens.
but the changes in the other meds can also do this
I did not have this with effexor & have not seen people talk /post about it specifically with effexor ... general mood lability is a possible side effect, however ....
most early side effects resolve by 6 to 8 weeks...
The major difficulty is deciding what is the cause when there are dose changes in more than 1 psychoactive drug.
best bet is to give the effexor a little more time...
phenergan can give nasty hangovers & does for some folks ...
when starting a med like Effexor or 1 of the SSRIs it is best to not change other psycho-active meds.
good luck
