Is Anyone Taking Effexor XR?

[Cecilia]

I have been taking Effexor XR for about 6 months and have not experienced any major side effects. It does make me tired, so I take it at night. I guess if there are side-effects I sleep through them. It does help me sleep.

I was on Paxil for 2 years and experienced weight gain. It did make me a little shaky, but I have a condition where my hands shake anyway, so it is hard to tell if it is side effects from meds. However, I seem to have less of a problem with Effexor.

I'm currently taking Effexor XR. It makes me drowsy, helps me sleep and alleviates night sweats. I find I am still nauseous for several hours the next morning and it takes some adjustment to get used to.

I was on Efferox for awhile and it helped at the time. I did not face withdraws either. I am on Cymbalta and have noticed jumps in my body, hands, arms, legs ect.
