For Anxiety "So, I was 18 years old, perfectly healthy and in good shape, but I was severely depressed and had some emotional issues. So I went to therapy (good decision), but she told me that I was supposed to take something for my mood, so I started Effexor, and have almost no side effects from it but also didn't really improve my mood. So I went to the highest dosage since I didn't have side effects, and after 8 months on it, I just went cold turkey (I know) and basically I had over 100 side effects. Ever since, it's been over a year and I still have side effects. I could not sleep for days, I went hypomanic, and much more. To this day, I feel pain and numbness in my body and severe coordination and cognitive problems. Nothing seems to get better."

For Hot Flashes "Effexor XR has been very helpful. The only side effects I've noticed are an occasional, slight feeling of dizziness and increased sweating. The benefits greatly outweigh the side effects."

For Anxiety "Be wary if you are younger. I had every side effect taking this drug. Extreme nausea and vomiting, shakiness and dizziness were just a few. Absolutely not worth it, I would never take this drug again."

For Anxiety "After 7 days on 37.5, I am now on 75 mg. Blood pressure gone up, and some dizziness. Mood swings. 4 years ago I was happy and normal then got this after COVID."
