Hi. I'm 20 years old and have lived with depression for about 15 years of my life due to my alcoholic, abusive mother. My psychiatrist diagnosed me this morning with severe depression and post tramautic stress disorder (from my childhood), and prescribed me Effexor XR. I'm starting on 37.5 mg for the first week, and gradually doubling my dosage. I'm just curious to know how soon people who have taken this drug started feeling any symptoms. Though I just started it today, I feel really tight in the jaw and throat, my appetite has diminished greatly, and I feel really nauseous. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
