- Not sureBig hassleReviewed venlafaxineon 11/30/2019Tried several medications but due to being younger and recently married I had issues with decreased libido, and still have anxiety problems. Started venlafaxine and noticed a change in mood pretty quickly. Unfortunately no one tells you about the crazy side effects and absolutely HORRIBLE withdrawals. If you even miss 1 dose. At this point I would rather have decreased libido on something else rather than having to worry about every going through a withdrawal from this.25WomanA year or soDepression
- Not worth itBig hassleReviewed Effexor XRon 11/21/2019Would not recommend this medicine to anyone. Have been tapering off, however, it still making me very sick. Missing time at work and social gatherings.60WomanA few monthsDepression
- Not sureSome hassleReviewed Effexor XRon 11/9/2019I felt the side affects right away when I missed a day. Very intense. The sweating and nightmares were difficult. It took a few days to feel better. I'm concerned about the withdrawals when missing a dose.57WomanA few monthsAnxietyWorth itLow hassleReview Effexor and help someone like you today!Your ageYour genderYour conditionHow long did you take it?

- Worth itSome hassleReviewed venlafaxineon 10/21/2019I had nausea of and on for almost 2 weeks at 37.5 mg. Then I went up to 75mg. After months on 75mg I'm taking 150mg per day. I'm much happier,less angry all of the time, more patient and not crying everyday anymore. My daughter noticed the difference in me. I do sweat alot now and headaches occasionally but nothing to serious and I just upped my dose to the 150.mg 3 weeks ago so hopefully this will subside soon. I dont know where is be without effexor, (venlafaxine)34WomanA year or soAnxiety

- Not worth itSome hassleReviewed venlafaxineon 10/10/2019On the generic for a couple years. Missing a dose means days of recovery. Doc doubled the dose due to increase in depression, but halving the dose again is brutal, electric shock feeling, dizziness, agitation. I gained 30 lbs on this medication because it made food taste amazing.39ManTwo years or moreAnxiety

- Worth itReviewed venlafaxineon 9/18/2019If you take one tip with you, this is it: Do not EVER skip your Effexor dose. Ever. I missed my dosage of 300 mg on a Sunday night , pharmacy messed up& I got it Tuesday morning. I had a complete meltdown. My dr told my family to go pick up some Ativan for me. I had to take 3 just to stop shaking. I was so confused I didnt know what to do. It was like a 4 day panic attack . It lasted 3 days after I got back on it on Tuesday morning to stabilize56WomanDepression
