> I have been on effexor xr 75 mg's for 1 week now, and has anyone out there on this medication seemed to have lost taste?I cant taste anything anymore,I have lost my appetite (which is a good thing) but was curious to see if anyone has the symptom as well..I also feel very withdrawn in my own world, is this normal?
I just was put on effexor for anxiety. I have a question related to anxiety. Everyone I know sees me as very laid back. However, in interactions with my wife, she sees me as anxious, quick to anger, and getting upset about small things. I also multitask, always keeping busy, watching tv and playing a game at the same time. If I go around the corner of a room and my wife is coming around it from the opposite side, it give s me a start because I don't expect to see her right there at that moment so I give a little "OH!" Like I was just a little startled. Is that a sign of a disorder? The psychiatrist says that effexor will help with my general anxiety disorder. I just dont understand how I can have this problem only with one person and not with everyone else. Does this make sense? Are those things I listed signs of a disorder? I think everyone has anxiety to some degree right?
I'm only on 37.5 right now, and I keep feeling sick every few minutes like im going to throw up. I guess thats normal but does it ever go away? One of my friends think i should get a second opinion but I don't know. I think my wife would get upset because it might seem like I am not acknowledgeing I have a problem. I'm not sure what to do.
