In reply to Re: Anxiety Sweating, Etc. with Effexor, posted by LC on September 25, 2006, at 14:01:16
These are side-effects that I had (the sleeplessness, sweating, nausea, etc)...some of them go away and others do not. I think it depends on the individual. I definitely sweat more, I have to drink a lot of water and make sure I have enough salt in my system at times. This is not something that has gone away for me. It takes me longer to climax during sex (most do this). As far as the anxiety goes, this is the medication that has helped me the most. I was so happy to find this stuff, I've been looking for the right one for over a decade. My sister has been diagnosed with GAD, as well, and has been so glad to get past all of the initial side effects b/c it has helped her tremendously. The side effects suck, but will diminish. It makes sense that your anxiety increases if you're worring about the meds side effects, as well as what they have been designed to do. Hang in there. It may very well be worth it to you. I'm glad I did.
