ONe more thing I meant to post on that I am contributing to beginning Effexor 3 weeks ago is Akathisia upon resting or attempting sleep. It's quite a bit like restelss Leg Syndrome is described, although it is not limited to just my legs. Like last night, I felt it in my right arm thru most of the night. It's a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE feeling. I just feel this incredible urge to move to get even a tiny bit of relief in whatever body part I am feeling it in at that moment. It seems really odd and this is as best as I can describe it, but maybe any of you who have felt it know what I am talking about. It's only just started since upping my dosage of Effexor from 37.5 mg to 75 mg. PLease someone tell me that it is in fact from the medication and that it does in time SUBSIDE!!!! It's driving me bananas and costing me very much needed sleep time!
