Effexor Questions...I know...I know!

I guess I'm being a big baby. I've only been on the effexor since Monday and I know it will take time to work, but I'm wondering about the fact that I am so very tired. Does this usually go away after you get adjusted to it?
I am still feeling weepy somewhat and having some feelings of uneasiness. I want the anxiety to get gone so i can do all the things I need to do again. I can't help but believe that if my clinic would've prescribed me some klonopin or xanax, I could've avoided switching ADs altogether. But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride....
BTW, right now my dosage of effexor is 75mg 2x a day. What is the highest dose? I had to be on the highest doses of Zoloft and Paxil for them to work for me.
thanks for listening!
hugs to all!

Hi janetlee im just starting on effexor too just over two weeks now and I found rather than tired they were keeping me awake at night which is when gp told me to take them and so I know take in the morning and its much better. Ive also got pregabalin for nights which makes me sleepy. Im on a tiny dose just 37.5 mg once a day but I have noticed I already feel a lot better not so tearful and anxiety reduced but I do wonder if they make you feel a bit emotion less which I dont want either! No pleasing me lol. Also I recon I will need to go up a bit as I wonder if I will get full effect on this small dose and if so do all the start up effects come back ?

Janet, you will settle in and smooth out, I will be talking to the
Devine Physician about you, Peace

I also take Effexor and yes, I was tired to start with, but it got better. I started on 37.5, then, 75mg, then to 150 which is what I take now. I also take it in the morning which works much better.
