Medication Advice:Effexor XR

Posted by JasonR on April 8, 2003, at 20:02:48

Hi everyone!

I tried Lexapro, but I was sleeping a TON (15hr/day).

Doc has me on Effexor XR. Last week was 37.5mg rampup dose. Last night started 75mg which is where I will stay for a while.

I have been reading around a bit about the brain-shocks or whatever, and they worry me a bit. I would like to find some references that show the rate of this side effect.

Any personal experiences with this? Is there a way to tell early in the medicine taking process if this is going to happen?

This is a great place, reading the experiences of others is helping me immensly. Thank you =)

Sorry if it's confusing here, but Psycho-Babble is the board for medication-related issues. Here's a link:
