I have taken Effexor before for almost a year and had no real problems when beginning except some nausea. I am trying to get back on them. Tried Lexapro first and was SICK and felt nervous-shaky. Short headaches but not a real bother. Sleep was good though.
Because of the negative symptoms I decided to go back on the Effexor but am experiencing side effects I never had before and was wondering if anyone has encountered this. My stomach feels sick (which I expected) but it seems more intense. I am feeling shaky and am having problems sleeping and waking in the night feeling like I'm on fire (and no I don't have hot flashes). That is very strange to me. If anyone has experienced this last symptom please let me kwow.
I have only been on it for 3 days at 37.5 mg and would like to try to hang in there but just not sure.
