Day Three: Effexor 75mg

I am working on some graphic design projects right now but I thought that I would check in and give you all on update on how I am feeling. Last night, I did have some trouble in the sleeping department. For some reason, my right leg was twitching. Not badly, just every so often my muscle seemed to get restless and twitch. I have never felt this before on any anti-depressant but I am not alarmed.

It seems when a patient starts an anti-depressant, they go through a set of start-up side effects from beginning the new medication. I only know this from experience. So far since starting Effexor, I feel the following:

Dry mouth
Minor Insomnia
Upset Stomach
Nausea

My mood is unchanged. I feel like my depressed self but just slightly more productive. I can really attribute this to the medicine.
