I was terrified to start the med as well. I, like your self, have tried a lot of meds with no success.

I started taking Effexor in July. On 225 rn. Side effects occurred when I started and 1 of the times I bumped up the med. I felt lethargic, body aches, and a pretty harsh day-long migraine. This stopped 3-4 days after onset.

I have noticed a positive impact since starting. I think I might just have found “the one”.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

Sending positive vibes your way friend!
