Well I have been on Effexor for about one week. I feel very spacey, find myself starring into space for long periods of time unable to snap out of it. I usually have this feeling in the morning and as I am winding down for the evening.
I also have almost no appetite whereas before Effexor I was an overeater/laxative use. I am trying to maintain a healthy diet despite the low appetite.
I have also had headaches almost daily as well as insomnia which I am hoping to cure by taking Effexor in the morning instead of at bedtime.
On the flip side I noticed an absolute decrease in my depression. I feel like myself more happy, funny and full of energy. I also have an increased libido which is something new for me.
On the issue of alcohol: I don't think I will chance it. My health and happiness means more than a drink of alcohol.
