I HAD ALL OF WHAT YOU ARE REPORTING AND ALSO A "SPEEDY" FEELING...TEETH GRINDING/CLENCHING, HEADACHES...I also requested to remain at 37.5. After about 1 week or so my side effects went away. I am still at 37.5 and have been on it for about 2months or so. My doctor was surprised I felt good after the first few days, and didnt think that remaining at 37.5 was advisable, but I stuck it out and still feel good.
I started a log to see what side effects I was feeling each day and noticed that eventually they were getting better. YOU have to be the judge, if you feel really uncomfortable dont hesitate to call your doctor, but stick it out a bit and they should subside. Remember your body is adjusting to the meds.
BEST OF LUCK!
> Hi everyone. I just want to tell you about my short time with Effexor XR. I felt like it was working for me within the first week but that could have been the placebo effect! Every side effect that I have is tolerable except for the heart palpatations. I went back to the doctor and asked him if I could stay at 37.5 until the palpatations subside a little more. He agreed. How long will the palpatations last?? The other side effects from taking Effexor are: I found myself talking alot and fast (I'm normally a pretty quiet person), my feet are constantly on the move, insomnia, heart palpatations and my pupils are dialated. I have read many of the posts and no one has said anything about thier pupils being dialated?? Is this normal??
