Hi! I've been taking effexor 175 for a month and a week now, at first it was amazing! I used to wake up early, well rested, I'd sweat like a bitch but it was manageable, since I was happy. I had a lot of energy, life had colours again. I have a lower sex drive but at least I can channel this energy into productive things.

For the last four days though it's like it stopped working? I have weird symptoms that didn't occur before : nausea, dizziness, sleepiness, sometimes even stomach pain. My muscles ache, sometimes I have trouble with balance, sometimes it feels like my body is ten times bigger than it really is. I don't wake up easily anymore, I keep oversleeping.

I stopped waking up drenched in sweat, but I have a horrible time with thermoregulation. When people outside wore winter jackets, I would go out in a summer top. Two days ago there was a heat wave and I legit nearly fainted outside.

I'm supposed to travel far away to a friend tomorrow and don't know if I'll make it if I keep feeling as shitty as I do now :^(

Does anyone else have/had similar issues?
