I have been on Effexor XR for 3 1/2 weeks. I am taking it for anxiety. To date I don't feel any big weight lifted off of my shoulders. I am still waiting for this great discovery...
How long til it kicks in? How long do people take these drugs? I must say, I have experienced some significant headaches (daily), almost to the point of a migraine, yet never quite evolving into one.
Also, I have had dry mouth and a little insomnia (though I had this before I started).
How long should I take it before I decide it's not working for me?
And if it does work, will I "know" it's working? I have read that there have been NO clinical trials past 12 weeks. So are we all just gonna be guinea pigs? Please advise.
Thanks.
