I have been on Effexor for a little over two weeks. Not XR though, I was taking 75mg twice a day. The first week i felt like i had the flu and couldn't even go to work. I was also pretty numb emotionally. However, those side effects seem to be gone and my doc gave me a new script today for Effexor XR since i didn't like taking the pills twice a day. This website gave me the idea of starting effexor (was on celexa a year) but i am scared i'm screwing with my body. the withdrawal sounds horrid. but i cry every day and my mind races with irrational destructive thoughts i can't seem to chase away. so i'm going for it. the chance of success seems worth it. so now my question is when to take it. i feel like a zombie as it is. so is at night better. i want to be able to sleep. sorry for rambling, my mind seems to be garbled...
