I'm sorry I didn't update or post over the weekend. I have been a little under the weather so to speak. The medication has given me a mild insomnia and I am feeling fatigued and crabby. My mood so far is slightly better.
Some other side effects that I am experiencing are dry mouth, vision trouble (I having a hard time reading things or seeing things up close), and loss of appetite.
Other than these side effects, I am hanging in there and I am determined to hang in. The side effects will diminish with time and I should be feeling better in a few weeks. I just have to put in the time and I will be fine.

Effexor is an effective drug. Good luck with it. Side effects should lessen a bit over time. I took around 375 mg and didn't have a problem. Happy New Year.
I have been on Effexor. In fact I have been on most. I have had depression for 25 years and recently 'crashed'. Currently I am taking Mirtazapine. The side effects do wear off after a while.
I have tried to explain how depression affects me in my blog.
email me if you need any support I can give.

Sorry I flaked out on all your comments. I was in a deep dark depression that effexor couldn't touch. As you have read, I was hospitalized. I will be starting a new medicine tonight: Paxil.
