Hey everyone.
So I started taking effexor last week for my anxiety problems, and pretty much I've been feeling ok for the most part. But today I woke up around 3:40 in the morning and I just felt off. I feel a sense disconnect, but it's not overwhelming. I've had a tight feeling in my chest for the past two days, but today that discomfort has subsidised (knock on wood). I occasionally had a racing heart, but again like the chest discomfort it has subsided. I was supposed to go into work today, but I felt so unmotivated I told my boss I'll start next week ( he is understanding to my anxiety). And now I feel very lethargic and sleepy, and I'm a bit light headed. I just need to know if it's normal to be feeling like this? I was reading forum posts about
people feeling out of it after the first few days, but they were on the second highest dosage which I believe is 70-75 mg. Has it taken this long because I have been on the lowest dosage? I mean, I'm going to the doctor's again at 3:40 today, but I stumbled upon this forum while researching side effects and saw how understanding everyone is so I thought about
giving it a shot and hearing from other's experiences.
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Shane
