I’m venting I dislike this platform it’s so hard to reply to someone it’s so old school and it just annoys me…I forget what I’m talking about and seems so u important now. lol. Yeah I get easily frustrated…and angry with the withdrawal from the Effexor. Or could be something else. The dry mouth, excessive sweating, weight gain and low low libido…is just absolutely terrible! Does anyone else have this? Omgawd if i knew this before hand I would never taken it. It’s like a persons worst nightmare if ur trying to date someone oi!!! I hear another lawsuit. Geez. Am I the only one with these side effects?

My side effects are opposite of yours! I barely had an appetite for 3 weeks after stopping Effexor. I was so fatigued that I could not get out of bed to shower. I also had excruciating headaches, very fast heartbeat, and sweating as well. Thank goodness the only person who witnessed was my dog! My mood swings were absolutely awful too and I would sob randomly.

Weight gain and low to no libido is common with almost all antidepressants. You are not alone! All physchiatric drugs seem to have really bad side effects.
