Well, yesterday ended with a severe dry-mouth. I am quite certain this is a result of taking the effexor. I have had this dry-mouth before. Last night I probably drank a liter of water trying to get rid of it but my thirst could not be quenched. This morning I woke up to find it was still there. I hope this is the only major side effect that I feel but I know I could be in for it.
This morning my stomach does feel a tad upset and my head feels like I have a mild car sickness. Other than that, I feel pretty solid and well. I would say my mood is about the same.
In order to gauge my mood, I have developed a well-being scale to track my ups and downs. I hope this is of benefit to my readers as I hope this blog helps at least one person. I am not trying to dissuade a patient from taking medicine or promote it. Instead, I am trying to provide an account so a patient knows what to expect. If these writings are helping you out, then please leave me a comment. It would really help to know that I have some readership out there.
I will check back in during the next few hours with an update. Thanks for reading.
