Hi! I started taking Effexor on June 6th, 75mg a day (split into 37.5mg am and pm). Had bad side effects for 2 weeks but they’ve now passed. Spoke to Dr today and they’ve told me to continue to take the 75mg dose. Tbh I was surprised, I thought it would be increased (as it’s doing nothing for my depression/anxiety atm). They said they’ll review it again in a month. I know it’s early days but was just wondering if others had to wait a while before increasing the dosage. Thank you! 😊

Hi, just wondered if anyone could tell me if this is normal and something they’ve experienced.

Just started at 37.5mg morning and night, only taken 2 doses and I feel like crap. Worst symptoms is that I have a lot of nausea and have no appetite whatsoever (which I guess has its benefits as I need to lose weight!)

Does this get better? The idea of eating or anything to do with food atm makes me 🤢
